My Rack vs Explore

Two tabs, two jobs. My Rack is the shelf you train from. Explore is the catalog you pull from. They share the same program data underneath, but they answer different questions.

My Rack

My Rack is the home tab. It shows the programs you have added. Active program at the top with the next session ready to start, queued programs underneath, archived programs further down if you have any. Tap a card and you see the schedule, the next lifts, the training maxes, recent sessions.

Most days you open Rackd, you stay on My Rack. Tap Start, log the work, close the app. That is the loop.

A program lands in My Rack when you add it from Explore, when you import one from a backup file, or when you build your own with the Program Builder. Once it is on the shelf, it is yours. No second download, no separate purchase, no expiry.

Explore

Explore is the full library. 15 programs ship built into the app, free with the install. 5/3/1 Strength, 5x5, Push/Pull/Legs, dumbbell-only, bodyweight, glute-focused, plus a few more. Three to six days a week, barbell to floor.

Explore is also where community programs and any programs you have imported show up alongside the built-in catalog. Filters at the top narrow by days per week, equipment, and goal. Tap a program to read the full breakdown before you commit. When you find one that fits, tap Add to Rack and it moves to My Rack as a queued program.

You do not lift from Explore. You browse it.

When to use which

Open My Rack when you want to train, swap an exercise, check your training maxes, or look at recent sessions. Open Explore when you want to add a new program, swap your active program for something different, or read what a built-in program looks like before you commit.

The split is on purpose. The shelf stays small and focused on what you actually run. The catalog stays browsable without cluttering the home tab with programs you have not chosen.

Show up, tap Start, lift.
