One page, every time
Client, goal, program title, notes and every training day on a single portrait sheet, day blocks in two columns. It always prints light, even when your phone is in dark mode.
For personal trainers
Write the program once. Let the log pick the next weight.
Chalkcard builds your clients' weekly programs, logs every session in a few taps, and prints a one-page card with the next weight already on it. It runs in your browser, with no account and no server.
Free. No sign-up. Your data stays on your device.

How it works
Three jobs. One clipboard.
Chalkcard does the part between sessions that eats your evenings: writing it up, working out the numbers, and making it look like you meant it.
-
Build the week.
Pick exercises from a list grouped into Upper, Lower, Core and Full body, then set sets, reps, weight and rest. New entries start at 3 × 10 with 90 seconds' rest, so you only change what's different.
-
Log the session.
The log form comes prefilled with the plan. If the session went as written, it's one tap to save; if not, change the reps for the set that fell short.
-
Hand over the card.
Print a clean one-page card for the clipboard, or share it as text straight to your client's phone. The next weight is already on it.
Progression
Five rules you can check by hand.
No black box. Chalkcard looks at the latest sessions for each exercise and picks one of five outcomes. It only suggests. Nothing in the program changes until you press Apply.
Back squat
3 × 5 @ 100 kg · +5 kg steps
-
Start No sessions logged yet. Train at the planned weight.
-
Add a rep Bodyweight, every set hit. Next time, one more rep.
-
Increase Every set hit. Add the exercise's step: 2.5 kg for upper body and core, 5 kg for lower and full body (5 lb or 10 lb).
-
Reduce The latest two sessions both fell short. Drop to 90%, rounded to the nearest 0.5.
-
Hold Anything else. Same weight, try again.
Rules are fixed on purpose: predictable for you, explainable to your client.
What you get
Looks like you made it by hand. Took a minute.

Sends through your phone's share sheet, or copies to the clipboard where sharing isn't available.
kg or lb, per client
Each client keeps their own unit. Weights move in steps of 0.5 and are never converted behind your back.

Questions
Straight answers.
Do my clients need an account?
No. Clients never log in. You hand them the printed card or send it as text.
Where is my data stored?
In your browser's storage on this device. There's no server and no sign-up. Use Backup to export a file, and import it on another device to move everything across.
What happens if the browser can't save?
Chalkcard keeps working and shows a banner asking you to export a backup, so you don't lose the session you just logged.
Can I override a suggestion?
Always. Suggestions are only suggestions. Edit the weight yourself, or press Apply to take the suggested one.
Does it handle rep ranges like 8–12?
Not yet. Each exercise has one target rep count, which keeps the rules simple and the card easy to read.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Open it and start.
Your clients are getting stronger. Their cards should keep up.
