What's New in EM
2.1
September 20, 2026
Four new ways to see the clock (Pro): • Tally: one cell for every second, going dark as the phase runs. • Ropes: a ring in the phase color that closes in as the round ends. • Glow: the whole screen heats up toward the switch. • Lanes: your entire workout as columns, filling one at a time. Breathe during rest: the countdown swells and settles six times a minute to pace your recovery. Turn it off in Settings. Every screen now works sideways. Prop your phone up and your timers, the builder and the countdown all fit the space. The run controls answer the moment you touch them, with a light tap to confirm. Plus: redeem an offer code and rate EM:OM right from Settings.
