I don't dislike your suggestion in the least, but it's a bit disingenuous to suggest that a routine like StrongLifts requires an app, spreadsheet or trainer.
You just do 5 sets of 5 reps for a couple of exercises... that's really all there is to it.
Start with x repeats, then count to 20, do x•2, count to 20, do x•3, ..., until you tired, e.g. x•5, count to 100, then do x•4, count to 20, do x•3, count to 20, do x•2, count to 20, do x repeats in row. X can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., e.g. 5, sp, 10, sp, 15, sp, 20, lp, 15, sp, 10, sp, 5, lp, an another exercise...
Important NOTE: Each of downslope repeats must feel like top repeat, i.e. you should be equally tired for X•N, count to 100, X•N-1, count to 20, X•N-2, and so on. If you are not tired, then increase X or weight.
