## What is WristCoach?

Your workout, now on your wrist.

WristCoach turns any workout video, handwritten plan or screenshot into a
guided session on your Apple Watch. It identifies the exercises, intervals,
sets, and rest periods, then organizes everything into a workout you can
follow without your phone.

See what's next, get notified when it's time to switch, and see your heart
rate on the watch as you go. Your phone can stay in your bag — you've got
everything you need right on your wrist.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Share or paste a workout video link (YouTube, TikTok), type a workout
   ("4 rounds: 40s box jumps, 20s rest"), or photograph a written plan.
2. Review the parsed workout — every step editable: names, durations, sets,
   rest periods, warmup.
3. Start it on your Apple Watch, or on your iPhone when you're not wearing
   the watch. Prefer Apple's Workout app? Export any workout to it with one
   tap.

BUILT FOR REAL TRAINING
• Understands workout language: circuits, EMOM, Tabata, supersets, rounds,
  work/rest intervals
• Reads the on-screen drill names in training videos — your watch shows
  "Icky Shuffle," not "Interval 3"
• Sport-aware: soccer drills, running intervals, strength sessions, and more
• Heart-rate zone targets on every step, with a buzz when you drift out
• Schedule workouts ahead — once, weekly, every 2 weeks, or monthly — with a
  reminder before it's time
• History keeps every finished workout, with heart rate, calories and time
  in zone
• Your library syncs across devices

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your heart rate stays on your devices. WristCoach reads it during a workout
to show your zone and saves the finished workout to Apple Health; it is never
uploaded to us or shared with anyone. Your plan syncs through your own
private iCloud database, which we cannot read. No ads, no trackers, no
analytics. Delete your account and all of its data anytime, right in the app.

Requires iOS 18 or later. The Apple Watch app requires watchOS 10 or later
and is optional — WristCoach runs the same workout on iPhone alone.
WristCoach provides workout structure, not medical advice — consult a
physician before beginning any exercise program.

## Frequently asked questions about WristCoach

### How does WristCoach create workouts?

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-19

Fixes for workouts that run on Apple Watch with the iPhone nearby.

• iPhone cue sounds now play through the whole workout when it runs on the
  watch, including the opening countdown, and stop cleanly when it ends
• Starting from iPhone with a watch on: both devices count in together
  instead of the phone joining after the watch has already started
• The rest cue is now a quick double beep, so it no longer sounds like the
  start of a movement, and very short transitions no longer stack cues
• A "Play cue sounds" switch in Settings turns the phone's cues off when
  the watch is the only sound you want
• Editing a workout: remove one rest without touching the others
• Generated workouts no longer include rests the source never had
• The weekly planning reminder is on by default, and only sent when the
  coming week has no plan yet

### 1.1 — 2026-09-14

WristCoach now runs the workout.

• New Apple Watch app: intervals, exercise names, heart-rate zones and a
  buzz or beep at every transition, with Today and Upcoming holding the
  coming two weeks of your plan on the wrist
• Run on iPhone when you're not wearing a watch, with a Live Activity on the
  Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• This Week: plan workouts once, weekly, every two weeks or monthly, with
  reminders and optional weather-aware wording for outdoor sessions
• History with Apple Health reports: heart rate, calories and time in zone
  for every finished workout, saved to Health so they count toward your
  rings
• Your plan and history sync between your iPhones through your private
  iCloud, and a reinstalled watch gets its history back
• More ways in: photograph a written plan or a whiteboard, share a link
  straight from TikTok or YouTube, or type the workout yourself
• A short first-run tour, and sign-in offered once, when it helps

Export to Apple's Workout app is still there, as a separate action on the
workout preview.
