Eccentric tempo tracking
Metric now tracks and reports your eccentric tempo for each rep. Tempo tracking is a great way to keep yourself honest and train for better control on the descent.
Customize your highlights cards
You can now pick your preferred display settings, choosing which metrics and highlights get shown on the training dashboard. You can tune Metric to better support your goals.
Bodyweight recording
You can now keep track of your bodyweight on your profile. This feature doesn’t do much (for now) but very soon Metric will leverage this data for calculating more advanced scores like relative strength and power.
Improvements ✨
- Algorithm improvements. Metric has been improved with better handling of unilateral and Olympic lifts.
Fixes 🐛
- Inevitable bug fixes. Another release, another slew of bugs crushed and general usability improvements help Metric be faster and more reliable than ever!
Version 1.2 - Bar chart mods, algo fix, snatches
What's New 🚨
Snatch velocity tracking
Metric now supports tracking for Snatch variations. Be sure to place your phone in a position that allows for the entire lift to fit in the frame.
Bug report button
Users now have a direct line to the Metric development team so they can report issues, share glitchy videos and request features.
Improvements ✨
- Compact bar charts on the home page. The Metric UI is now cleaner, with the bar chart getting far easier to access.
- Stability improvement to filter false repetitions. Thanks to your feedback we were able to find a bug causing false rep detections when phones were in certain positions. This should now be much more reliable.
Fixes 🐛
- Moved some pixels around to keep Metric looking slick and easy to use.
- Improved the login, sign-in and forgot password flow, including a bug fix for keychain access.
Version 1.1 - Context, zoom, custom plate size
What's New 🚨
Training context
Metric now provides simple training context information that helps you determine how well you are lifting. The difference between the current set and the last set you performed of the same exercise at the same weight is shown below each stat on the homepage.
Camera zoom capability
Users setting up in tight spaces rejoice! You can now pinch to zoom. If your phone features a wide angle lens you can now use that extra space too.
Custom plate sizes
Now it is possible to train with those odd sized plates floating around your gym. When entering the set exercise information add the diameter of the largest plate on the bar and Metric can deliver accurate data.
Improvements ✨
- Less invasive alerts in camera setup. Metric will still alert you when stabilisation issues are detected, but will be a bit calmer This makes it easier to play with the new Zoom feature and not feel you are being yelled at by a computer!
Fixes 🐛
- A bug that caused noisy reps for some users has been tracked and fixed.
- A laundry-list of housekeeping and pixel pushing was also achieved.
Version 1.0.1 - Ballistic lifts and intelligent rep detection
What's New 🚨
Major algorithm upgrade
Metric has thrown out the rulebook (again 😀) by using an all-new intelligent rep feature classifier that determines your actual rep start and end points. With this smart algorithm update your rep velocity and ROM data is more truthful and actionable than ever before, and Metric can now easily handle ballistic lifts.
Ballistic lifts added
Several new lifts have been added to the exercise list including: loaded jumps (trap bar and barbell), cleans, jerks, push-press, high-pulls and step-ups. This is made possible thanks to the new rep feature classifier algorithm.
Support for multi-athlete recording
Early access users of Metric for Teams can now quickly switch between athletes while using one device to record sets.
Support for deleting sets
For future planned capabilities we have now added the ability to delete a recorded set entirely. This can be handy if you are messing about showing someone how to use the app and don’t want their set saved in your training history (hint hint).
Improvements ✨
- Search field on the exercise selection screen. You can now quickly filter the list to find your lift.
- Fewer taps between sets. Metric previously had an extremely convenient workflow for adding a new set, but after hundreds of sets recorded we realised we could significantly reduce the taps required by condensing everything to a single screen prior to recording.
Fixes 🐛
- Accelerometer tweaks to reduce false set cut-offs. Metric was previously a little sensitive to the device being moved and would prematurely end sets. Dropping your deadlifts is now less likely to kill the set recording (thanks Bryce!)
- General bug squashing. As ever Metric has had a range of small bugs or crashes resolved.
Version 0.6.0 - Improved 3D tracking and correction
What's New 🚨
New exercises
Two new exercises added to the library - Step Ups and Floor Press.
Improvements ✨
- Overhauled the tracking algorithm. Metric is now able to record sets reliably from a wider range of phone positions, including placing the phone lower down relative to the barbell.
- X & Z axis correction. Metric now features X-axis and Z-axis correction so mean velocity is more accurate, and aligns with other velocity tracking technologies that also offer X-axis correction.
Fixes 🐛
- Touch ups and bug squashing. As usual stability has been tweaked, bugs and crashes should be less common as a result.
Version 0.5.4 - Set editing and rep removal
What's New 🚨
Editing set details and hiding reps
You can now change the exercise or weight after recording a set. Even better, Metric now allows you to exclude a rep from the results. Maybe you pulled the bar too hard on set-up? No problem, press the icon next the detected rep to remove it.
Improvements ✨
- Variance is now consistency. Previously Metric reported how varied your range of motion was each set. Now Metric displays how consistent - the inverse number. Basically you should aim for 100% consistency!
- Optimisations for older phones. Users with older devices (especially on iOS 14), were sometimes getting some funky results. Metric is now better optimised for these devices and should be more reliable for these users.
- Memory handling restructure. When video was being reprocessed for accuracy, sometimes results would be wildly inaccurate. The culprit was memory handling; Metric now handles memory properly so more accurate results are in fact more accurate.
Fixes 🐛
- Tiny pop-up is no longer. A micro-sized information box in the app would randomly show up after a set and force users to re-start. We hunted down a tiny error that caused the tiny pop up and it should no longer be a problem.
- Touch ups and bug squashing. As usual stability has been tweaked, bugs and crashes should be less common as a result.
Version 5.5 - Coach mode improvements
What's new 🚨
Select All & Bulk Actions in Video Library
Managing your video library just got faster. You can now select all videos at once to quickly clear your library or export everything to your camera roll in just two taps.,

- Toggle between mean or peak velocity measurements on a per-exercise basis
- View your progress across multiple timescales, no longer limited to just 6 weeks
- Get deeper insights into your performance patterns with more flexible data options
Intelligent Rep Filtering
Metric already does a lot of work to filter out unrack and rerack ghost reps from your set, but sometimes they still sneak in, especially the catches on jumps or Olympic lifts. Now Metric performs a second sweep and auto-hides any suspected false detections from the set. If it gets it wrong, just scroll down to the set review and unhide the rep to add it back into your set data.
Improvements ✨

Velocity trends
A new trend card compares your current set velocity against your six-week historical average. See at a glance whether you're trending up (well recovered and ready to push, trending down (potentially fatigued or not lifting with intent), or holding steady, and tap through for a detailed chart breakdown. Learn more about how Metric calculates Trends here →
Set quality warnings
After each recording, Metric now analyses your setup and flags potential issues — viewing angle, framing, plate size, 0 rep reps, and device stability. These replace the old generic "no reps" message with specific, actionable feedback so you can fix issues and get better data on your next set.
Device stability detection
Your phone now needs to be stable before recording can begin. An on-screen status pill shows whether your device is ready, needs to be held steady, or stood upright. Recording is disabled until the device is stationary and automatically stops if significant movement is detected mid-set.
Fullscreen video playback
Video playback can now be expanded to full screen with a tap. Includes a time scrubber, mute toggle, and your bar path and stats overlay — all carried over seamlessly between the mini player and expanded view.
Intuitive video playback
