Hola. I'm Alex, a Mexican, Greek, and Ghanaian, black British founder from Brighton.

I have been here before. My last app went through an accelerator, raised early funding, and still did not make it. Not because the idea was wrong, not because we lost focus, but because I was young and at university, trying to do too much with too little time and experience. Liftlern is the second attempt, done right, with more lived experience and a real understanding of what it takes to build something great.

I built Liftlern because the app I wanted did not exist. I wanted something that tracked my lifting properly, logged my nutrition without a subscription, and did not feel like work to use. I could not find it. So I built it.

It has been designed with real care, every screen, every interaction, every detail thought through properly. The standard I held myself to was simple: would I genuinely enjoy using this? If the answer was anything less than yes, it did not make it in.

Most apps want you to open them when you are bored. Liftlern is built for when you are actually living. You open it when you train, when you are tracking your nutrition, when you are focused on recovery. It fits around your life rather than demanding attention from it.

The rest timer is something I am particularly proud of. Every other app gives you a countdown and nothing else. I refused to waste it. Studies show your brain is at its most receptive to new information when your body is active and your mind is alert. So instead of handing you back to TikTok between sets, I built something that completely changes the way you rest. You will come out of every session physically stronger and a little bit sharper.

For lifters, it is completely free. Not a trial. Not freemium with the good stuff locked away. Free forever. Everything you need to train, track your nutrition and recover properly, all in one place.

June 8th is the beginning. I hope you love it.
