Cardio, nutrition and body tracking

Cardio: tracked, not typed

Open More > Cardio and every session is already there: cardio exercises logged inside a workout appear automatically, and sessions from other apps sync in through Health Connect. There's deliberately no separate cardio diary to maintain.

For your chosen time range you get six stats — sessions, total distance, total minutes, best running pace, average heart rate and estimated calories — plus trend charts for distance, pace (running only), heart rate, heart-rate zones and duration, and a By Activity list with per-activity records.

Synced sessions carry an Edit button for correcting distance, duration, heart rate, elevation and notes. Enter a heart rate and DropSet shows your training zone (Z1-Z5) and estimates calories from it.

Running the timer in a workout

Add any cardio exercise to a workout and its set rows swap weight and reps for distance, duration and an editable REST cell. Tap START and the timer runs the set: a planned duration counts down with a progress ring and a Pause button; no duration means a count-up stopwatch — tap Finish and the elapsed time is logged.

When every set is done, the button turns into LOG ANOTHER: one tap adds a fresh round and starts it immediately.

HIIT that runs itself

Mark sets as HIIT and the logger runs them as real intervals: each set's duration is the work period, its rest is the recovery, and sets auto-chain — work, rest, work — with the set number and phase (WORK or REST) front and centre. HIIT work gets the urgent red ring; steady efforts stay calm white.

HIIT blocks in DropSet's built-in programs are automatically bracketed by a 5-minute easy warm-up and cool-down. The warm-up chains straight into round one, and the moment your last round ends the cool-down starts on its own — you're never sent cold into all-out intervals, and never left standing when they finish.

Nutrition: one record per day

Nutrition is built around syncing rather than typing. Connect Health Connect and daily calories and macros flow in from the nutrition app you already use — merged into exactly one record per day, so re-syncing never creates duplicates.

You get average calories, protein, carbs and fat, a daily calories chart, a macro split donut, and protein, carbs and fat trend lines. Edit any day with the pencil button in Log History — the day stays a single record.

Water has its own quick-add card: tap +250, +330, +500 or +750 ml (or Custom) and today's total updates instantly against a 2,000 ml target bar.

Weight, body fat and measurements

Body Metrics is the long-game page. Tap the + button to log today: weight (kg or lbs, following your unit setting), body fat percent, optional lean and bone mass, and ten tape measurements from neck to calves. Stat cards show your latest weight, body fat and BMI with up/down deltas against your previous entry.

Charts cover weight, body fat, lean mass, BMI trend and any single measurement you pick. Sleep and water sit alongside — sleep syncs from Health Connect, water comes straight from the Nutrition page.

Progress photos with a ghost

The Gallery keeps progress photos in a date-labelled grid — tap one for a lightbox (swipe between photos, share, save, delete), with filter tabs separating body shots from post-workout photos.

The camera shows a ghost — a faint overlay of your last shot — so every photo lines up with the same framing and pose; the post-workout photo uses the same camera. Select to Compare puts any two photos side by side with their dates, always letterboxed to fit, never cropped or stretched, with Swap, Save and Share.

On Android, every photo is also saved to a DropSet album in your device gallery, so it backs up with your other photos. Reinstall the app and the gallery restores itself from that album — once, with no duplicates — and a manual Restore from device album button is there if you need it.

Turn photos into a time-lapse

With three or more photos, the Time-lapse button builds a crossfading, date-stamped, DropSet-branded video of your transformation, framed at 4:5 portrait for social feeds. Drag the filmstrip trimmer's handles to pick the exact stretch you want; a live label shows the photos and weeks in range.

Download or Share exports a real video file. On devices that can't encode video, DropSet falls back to a branded before/after image, so you always get something worth posting.
