See what you saved, then look at the pattern. The Humble Plank is a plank progress tracker for iPhone with two views inside History: Records lists individual saved sessions, while Stats brings together streaks, daily time and session totals.
This walkthrough uses the same example history as our plank timer guide. The 10-second session was completed and saved during that demonstration. The earlier entries are fictional, so the numbers below are examples rather than a person’s training results.
Find the plank you just saved
Tap History at the bottom of the app, then choose Records.
Each row shows the day, duration and time of a saved plank. In this example, the new 00:10.0 session appears above an earlier 01:35.0 session on the same day.
Use this view when you want to check a specific session. If you have just finished a plank, remember to tap Save on the timer before looking for it here.
Read your recent progress in Stats
Switch from Records to Stats at the top of History.
- Streaks counts consecutive days with saved planks. Best shows the longest run of days in your history.
- Last 7 days shows your total saved plank time for each day. Two sessions on one day contribute to the same bar.
- Total adds up the time saved over those seven days.
- Average is the average length of a saved session in that period, not the average per day.
- Longest is the longest individual session in that period.
Here, eight sessions across seven days add up to 9 minutes 58 seconds. The average session is about 1 minute 15 seconds, shown as 01:14.7 in the app.
Understand the longer view
The cards beneath the weekly chart summarize all your saved sessions:
| Stat | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Total lifetime | The combined time of your saved sessions. |
| Total sessions | How many sessions you have saved. Multiple sessions on one day count separately. |
| Personal record | Your longest saved session. |
| Typical length | The median session duration, which is different from the weekly average. |
Scroll down in Stats to see Personal record, Typical length and the Monthly consistency calendar.
Use the daily and monthly views to notice when you saved sessions. A day without a saved plank is a gap in this record; it does not erase the earlier sessions. The app records time and activity, rather than measuring plank form or fitness improvement.
Start your own record
Your next saved plank is the next entry in your history.

Progress questions
Do two planks on the same day count as two streak days?
No. Both saved sessions count towards your session total and time, but they contribute one day to your streak.
Can I track my planks without an account?
Yes. You can save sessions and view Records and Stats on your iPhone without signing in. An account also lets you sync history across devices and join group planks, where you can get notified when your plank buddy planks and give their session a like.
