Back up
Your training log lives only on this device. A backup is a small file you keep somewhere safe.
The transfer code is the same backup as text. Paste it into a note, an email to yourself or a message.
Restore or move to another device
- On this device, save or send a backup, or copy the transfer code.
- Open Varde on the other device.
- Come to Your data there and restore below.
Restoring replaces the training log on this device.
Import from notes, a spreadsheet or a photo
Bring in a program from your notes app, a Google Sheet or Excel file, or a screenshot. You check everything before it's saved, and fix anything that was read wrong.
How to never lose your log
Add it to your home screen
iPhone: in Safari, tap ⋯ next to the address bar, then Share › Add to Home Screen. Keep Open as Web App on and tap Add.
Android: in Chrome, tap ⋮ › Add to home screen (or Install app) › Install.
On iPhone this matters: Safari can clear website data you haven't opened for 7 days. Home screen apps are kept.
Choose one main device
Your phone and computer don't sync. Log your workouts on one device (your phone at the gym), and move a backup when you switch.
Back up once a month
Save a backup file or copy the transfer code now and then. Varde reminds you after 30 days.
Avoid private browsing
Private and incognito windows forget everything when you close them.
Before you clear your browser
Clearing history or website data deletes your log. Make a backup first.

What it is
A varde is a stone cairn on a Norwegian mountain trail. Each one shows how far you've come. Varde does the same for your training: it shows what to do today, what to lift next, and how far you've come.
No subscription, no account and no ads.
How it works
How suggestions work
Varde uses double progression, a simple and widely used method. Each exercise has a rep range, like 8–12. Stay at the same weight and add reps. When you reach the top of the range on every set, it suggests a little more weight next time. If two sessions in a row fall below the range, it suggests a lighter day.
Suggestions are general training rules, not medical or personal coaching advice.
Privacy, and who made it
There's no account and no tracking. Your workouts never leave your device.
Varde is designed in Oslo, Norway by ScandinavianNO, a small studio making simple, useful tools for everyday life. Questions or ideas? Send a message through our Etsy shop.
