NOMAE, a matte black magnetic motion tracker with a debossed mountain mark on the lid, a USB-C cable at its open end

A render made from the design files. Not a photograph.

We are building a small magnetic device to measure movement on compatible steel gym machines and turn it into useful training information on your iPhone.

01 / The idea

The machine already knows what you did.

A gym machine moves along one fixed path, over and over. That movement is your reps, your range, your tempo and the pauses in between.

NOMAE reads it on the machine, so you do not have to wear anything or write anything down.

02 / How it works

Attach. Train. Track.

Attach it. Train as usual. Check the set on your phone.

Attach

Put it on the moving steel. Four bare magnet faces grip straight onto it. On or off in about a second.

For flat steel on machines. Not for barbells or dumbbells.

Train

No screen, no button, no timer. NOMAE reads the machine while you train, so your phone stays in your pocket.

Track

The app turns that movement into reps, sets, and how far the machine travelled on each one, then shows how those change week to week.

Every phone screen on this page is an interface preview.

03 / The object

Rendered from the files it will be made from.

Every picture below is a render of the design, not a photograph of a finished unit.

04 / Software

Your phone is the screen.

Three tabs. There is nothing to press on NOMAE, and not much to press in the app either.

Train

One screen for the set you are on. It goes near-black and blows the rep count up to the size of the phone, so you can read it from the floor.

Progress

One trend line over your most recorded movement, and the sessions underneath it.

Ask

Four questions about your own training, answered from your own recorded sets.

Rep by rep

How far the machine travelled on each rep, and where that range started to shorten.

Interface preview

App features and data handling will be confirmed before release.

The screens here are interface previews. iPhone only for now.

05 / Guidance

Training guidance from the sets you did.

A plan that answers to what you actually did.

A render of a selectorised machine weight stack, the selector pin banded orange, on a pale grey ground — Render. Not the product.

Progressive overload

Use the last set to decide what comes next: another rep, another plate, or more rest.

Plans that adapt

A fixed plan cannot see a rough week. One built on the sets you did can.

Visible fatigue

Falling range and tempo can show when a set, or a training block, needs to change.

What you missed

See your weekly volume, including the machines you skipped.

Assistant

It answers from your sets, on your phone.

Four questions about your own training: whether you are getting stronger, how the last session went, whether your range is holding, and how consistent you have been. Each one is a fixed query over your own sets.

Design in progress

Data handling will be documented for the released app.

Not a language model

Four questions with fixed answers. Not a text box pretending to understand whatever you type into it.

Not a coach

It reads movement, not your body. It is not medical or injury advice.

Interface previews.

07 / Questions

The awkward ones first.

A render of a plate-loaded leg press, its carriage on inclined rails, on a warm grey ground — Render. Not the product.

How accurate is it?

We do not know yet. The product has not been tested yet. We will publish the result, the method and the date once it has been.

What equipment is compatible?

The intended use is on compatible moving steel parts of gym machines. A final compatibility list and attachment instructions are not available yet. The render is not proof of secure attachment.

Does it work with barbells and dumbbells?

No. Free weights move in three dimensions, and a magnet-mounted device does not belong on a loaded bar.

Android?

Not at launch. The radio is standard Bluetooth Low Energy, so there is no hardware obstacle. We would rather ship one good app than two half ones.

When does it ship?

There is no date yet. We need to build and test the first boards before setting one.

Can I order yet?

This website does not accept payments or create orders. Sales terms will be published before orders open.

Is there a subscription?

Pricing and any ongoing fees have not been announced. We will explain the complete offer before accepting orders.

Where does my training data go?

This website does not collect workout data. The released app will have its own privacy information describing storage, processing and any sharing before you use it.
