Planner

What this chapter is for

The planner is the only part of the app that looks forward. Everything else records what happened. Here you decide what should happen — and afterwards you see whether it did.

The planner is optional. You can use the app fully without ever creating an appointment; it then stays a logbook. If you want to commit to a week, this is where the frame for it lives.

The calendar

There are two views: the week with its seven days, and the month as an overview. Dots on the days show their state — planned, completed, or trained on that day. Tapping a day shows its entries below.

For every entry you can see at a glance where it stands relative to today: due today, due in a few days, missed, or last completed on a particular day. That is the planner’s actual job — not the calendar, but the distance between intention and reality.

Planning a session

An entry consists of a workout, a name and a start day.

The workout you pick first. On training day you open and start it straight from the entry. If there is none yet, you create it right there while planning. If the workout already has an appointment, the app shows it and asks whether you still want to add another.

Window “Plan workout” with the choice of workouts, the start day and the repeat — When planning you pick the workout first, then the start day and whether the appointment repeats.

Name and start day. The app takes the name over from the workout; you can change it. If the start day lies in the past, the app tells you beforehand that the appointment will show as missed at once.

A repeat. Instead of creating every appointment by hand, pick a pattern:

Pattern	Meaning
None	A single appointment
Weekly	Every week on the same weekday
Every two weeks	Every other week on the same weekday
Monthly by date	Always the same day of the month, the third say
Monthly by weekday	“Every first Monday”, for instance

The two monthly patterns are not the same thing: the third falls on a different weekday each month, the first Monday on a different date each month. Which one fits depends on what you steer by — the calendar or your week.

Ticking off and tidying up

Completed sessions get ticked off; a tick can be taken back. A completed one-off appointment is marked as completed afterwards. Recurring entries carry a symbol of their own.

When you delete a recurring session, the app asks what you mean:

Delete this one date — the series carries on, this single day drops out.
Delete this and all future ones — the series ends here, the past stays as it is.

Important, and intentional: a deleted appointment takes nothing with it. Neither your workout nor the sets you trained that day disappear. The planner manages intentions, not training data.

When something does not work

There is no workout to choose when planning. Then there is none yet. You create one right while planning, or beforehand under Training; without a workout no appointment can be created.
An appointment sits on a day that does not suit you. Moving is not a separate operation: in a series you delete the single date and create the replacement, and a one-off appointment you simply edit.

How it fits together

Linked workouts come from Training. Your next planned session appears on the start screen, so you see it without opening the planner. Whether you actually trained in a given week is answered not by the planner but by the dashboard.
