Application for squash players who are doing ghosting session for their training. The application will randomly choose the direction you should move for your next movement in your ghosting session. You have the ability to configure many parameters of your ghosting session: - The number of movement per set. - The number of sets in your session. - The speed of your movement. - The rest time between each set. - The profile of the opponent you are playing (affecting the probability of where the next movement will be). No need to look at your device while you are ghosting, the direction you need to move will be played on the device, you simply need headphone or connect your device to a speaker loud enough to hear it on the squash court. My focus was to develop a very simple application that is straight forward to use. Squash ghosting is part of every serious squash training where the player start from the center of the court and move to one of the corner and swing the racket like he's playing a shot with a imaginary ball, then the player get back to the center of the court (the "T" position). This is a great way to improve footwork, fitness and speed for any serious player.

Planck time is the shortest measurement of time possible. Plank time, however, is a lot longer than that. This is a simple, standalone WatchOS app that integrates with Apple HealthKit and focuses on one thing: Planks! This plank timer uses haptic feedback to alert you every 15 or 30 seconds (customizable to your preference), with stronger buzzes at each minute - one buzz per elapsed minute. Use this as part of your daily workout routine to precisely log your plank durations, and know that your fitness data is being stored safely and securely on-device; we do not collect or sell any of your personal data.
