## What is Signal by Ciobanu?

Just a signal to move.

Signal is a full-screen rest timer for the gym. No buttons. No clutter. Just color rising and a message when it's time to go.

Pick your vibe. Each one fills your screen with a unique visual experience while you rest between sets. Swipe to switch vibes mid-timer. Tap and hold anywhere to open settings.

When your rest is over, you get a motivational message from one of three voice personalities — Cold Truth, You Got This, or Mom Guilt. Hundreds of messages, no two rests the same.

Works on your lock screen too. Start a timer, put your phone down, and the countdown shows on your Dynamic Island and lock screen with your vibe's color. A ding lets you know when it's time.

7 classic vibes included free. 7 premium vibes available to unlock — each one a completely different visual world.

No accounts. No ads. No data collected. Just you and your timer.
