The name

Rhetra, from ῥήτρα — "the word that becomes law". The Great Rhetra is the law Lycurgus brought back from Delphi, and to which Sparta held for three centuries. The word carries the product's thesis: the rule you set yourself and that decides, as opposed to the ledger that merely records.

Pronounced RAY-tra. Written without an accent, in capitals in the wordmark: RHETRΛ — the final A is a capital lambda, the blazon of the Spartan shield. Never "Rhétra", never a Latin A in the wordmark.

Descriptions

One line

The programme, not just the logbook.

One sentence

Rhetra is a strength-training app for iPhone and Apple Watch that knows what day it is, where you are in your cycle, and what belongs on the bar — and that always says why.

One paragraph

Training logbooks record what you did; they do not tell you what to do. The apps that do programme take the control away from you. Rhetra holds both: the entry speed of a logbook, with a real programming engine on top. Every proposed load arrives with the sentence that explains it, and nothing is written until the user has approved it. The app covers five disciplines — weight training, street workout, CrossFit, Hyrox, running — runs the session on the wrist without a phone, and works entirely offline, with no account: the phone is the source of truth, iCloud only a mirror.

The palette

Marble and ink. Bronze is reserved for records — it is never a decorative accent. Terracotta signals destructive actions only.
