// THE SHORT ANSWER //
Is IronLedger really free?
Yes. IronLedger is free, and there is nothing to buy inside it. Free covers set logging, full training history, personal records and estimated 1RM, every analytics view, all 10 program templates, the custom multi-week builder, CSV and Excel import, CSV and JSON export, and the load recommendations on the built-in programs.
Nothing is held back for a paid tier, because there is no paid tier. The App Store listing states it plainly: no in-app purchases. Logging is local, so you do not need an account to record your first set.

// THE HONEST ANSWER //
No paywall, and no plan to add one.
I built IronLedger because I wanted a log that explained itself. It costs very little to run. Your sets are stored on your device, so there is no bill that grows with your training history and nothing I need to recover from you.
What I want is for the app to be as good as it can be. Charging you for access to your own training record is the wrong trade, and a paywall would push every design decision toward the paywall instead of toward the barbell.
So here is what is true today: one plan, $0, no subscription, no in-app purchase, no locked analytics, no paywalled history. If that ever changes, it will be said here first, in plain language, and your existing log stays yours to export.
Local logging with no account. Nothing about your training is required to leave your phone.

// FAQ //
Short questions, short answers.
Will you add a paid tier later?
There is no plan to. Today there is one plan at $0. If that ever changes it will be said here first, and your log will still export to CSV.
How do you make money?
Right now, not at all. Logging runs on your device, so running costs are low. IronLedger is not funded by ads, data sales, or a subscription.
Do I need an account?
No. Logging is local. Install the app and record your first set without signing up for anything.
Can I export my data if I stop using it?
Yes, any time. Export your history as CSV, or everything as a JSON backup, from inside the app. Programs import from CSV or Excel, including a coach program sent as a spreadsheet.
Is Android free too?
Yes, and it is in closed testing. Join the Google Group, then opt in on Google Play with the same Google account. There is no charge on either platform.
