01
Set up Rackd in 5 minutes
Install Rackd, choose a real program, log the first set, and keep the next session clear.
Guide.
Start with the plan, then find the next useful answer. The guide follows the work from first session to readable progress.
01Getting started
02
Bring an existing program with you
Already have a program? Use the current import flow to bring its structure into Rackd and review anything that needs a match.
03
Pick your first program
How to pick a program that fits your week, your goals, and where you actually are right now. Beginner to intermediate, barbell to bodyweight.
04
Run your first workout
Tap Start, log your sets, and let the rest timer and Coach Note do the bookkeeping. Here is the full active workout flow.
05
What 'the math' actually does
What Rackd computes between sessions: the program rule, the last lift, and the next target. Eleven systems, one clear handoff.
06
What's free, what's paid
Rackd starts with a local training core, and there is no subscription.
02Programs and workouts
01
Programs vs workouts vs templates
Programs are multi-week structures. Workouts are single sessions. Templates are reusable session shapes. When to reach for each.
02
My Rack vs Explore
My Rack is for the programs you train. Explore is for comparing the catalog before you choose what runs next.
03
Swap an exercise mid-workout
Replace an exercise during a session, review the match from the 448-exercise source, and keep the change clear.
04
Edit a past workout
Open Training Hub, tap a past session, edit individual sets, save. Edits feed back into next session's training max.
05
Skip a session or miss a week
What happens when you tap Skip, when to reset your training max after a layoff, and when a deload is the smarter call.
06
Take a deload or rest week
When the program calls for a deload, when to call one yourself, and what the math does to your training maxes when you do.
03Progression and tracking
01
How Rackd picks your next weight
Every program runs on a progression rule. Rackd reads your last set, your reps, your RPE, and writes the next session.
02
How bodyweight and assisted exercises work
Log bodyweight and assisted movements with the right bodyweight and assistance inputs, then let the next target follow the rule.
03
When to use RPE, when to ignore it
Some progressions weight RPE into the next session. Others ignore it. Knowing which is which saves you the guesswork.
04
Read the Coach Note
The Coach Note is the one line on each exercise card that tells you what to do today and what changes next session. Here is how to read it.
05
Track progress on the Training Hub
Four tabs in Training Hub: Overview trends, History sessions, Exercises stats, PRs. How to read each chart and filter by exercise.
06
When the numbers stall
How a stall reads in the Coach Note, when to drop the training max 10 percent, when to swap the program, and when the issue is recovery, not the rules.
04Account, sync, billing
01
Your data lives on your device
Rackd is local-first. Training data starts on your device, and sync is optional.
02
Trial credits, this article is retired
This article described an old per-device generation credit. It is retained as a dated correction, not as current usage guidance.
03
Backup vs Sync
Backup is a file you keep. Sync is an optional mirror between devices. They solve different problems.
04
Use Rackd on more than one device
Rackd is local-first. If your release exposes optional sync, use the same account on each device and keep a backup as well.

05Troubleshooting
01
My imported program didn't map cleanly
Unmapped exercises and unclear progression inputs are review items, not silent substitutions. Here is how to clean an import before you run it.
02
My workout disappeared
A session you logged is missing. Most of the time, the data is still on the device or one tap away in a backup file. Here is how to find it.
03
Rest timer didn't fire
If the rest timer stays quiet, check the notification and battery settings that control it on your device.
04
My numbers don't match across devices
A local-first record can differ across devices until the current release exposes and completes its optional sync flow.

Weight increment looks wrong
Next weight came back odd? Almost always a unit mismatch or a plate-set gap. Here is the 60-second fix.
