Hi, I'm Christopher Whitsey, the independent developer behind LiftCal.
I've always enjoyed both fitness and software development. Over the years I've studied personal training, sport coaching, programming, networking and data communications.
After being made redundant, I became a full-time carer for my wife. During quieter moments I started building software again, which eventually became LiftCal.
I wanted an app that goes beyond basic workout tracking — something that actually helps lifters understand their training.
Every update teaches me something new about Swift, architecture, and exercise science. This project is as much about learning as it is about building.
Whether it grows slowly or quickly doesn’t matter — the goal is to keep improving it and make something genuinely useful.
