Rep Timer vs RepEcho

Rep Timer is the timer you've been looking for! Rep Timer provides a simple, elegant way to time your holds without the need to look at your iPhone or Apple Watch. Just listen for the tone, or the tap on your wrist! And if you do look at it, it's beautiful and clear, providing a clear and elegant visualisation of the hold, and rests. It's awesome! Need to change settings? Easy! Change them on one device, and they are conveniently and automatically shared to your paired device (in either direction!). You can even save those settings as shortcuts. Have multiple workouts? Easy, just create a shortcut for each one! Swipe left and tap! Off you go! And if the app is open on both paired devices, starting your activity on one is automatically synced to the other! Don't have an Apple Watch? No worries, just use Rep Timer on your iPhone, and it will provide audible prompts, or taps (on a wooden table is awesome) to communicate. What you see is what you get. Do you want more? Let us know, and we'll look at adding in more features over time. If you're sick of ad supported apps, in-app purchases, or subscriptions, and you just want a simple timer that does what you need it to do, then Rep Timer is the app you're looking for. Rep Timer records any activities with HealthKit, so they count to your daily totals! I wrote Rep Timer because I've recently been given a set of daily exercises to do at home, and whilst I love Apples Workout app, it was a pain when I'm in a 30 second hold, that I couldn't look at my watch to know when it was time to have a break. Rep Timer lets me go into a hold, and just relax into it. When the tap comes, I know it's time to rest, and I know that Rep Timer will let me know when to start the next hold. I've built Rep Timer for my simple needs, and I'm sure that many people will appreciate a tool that is simple to use without all the fuss and bother of AI and spam generating subscriptions that just want their data.  Sometimes when all you have is a nail, a hammer is all you need. Rep Timer doesn't share or collect any data outside what you permit it to store in your own HealthKit on your devices.

RepEcho is a tempo metronome built for strength training. Set the pace of every rep, keep your form honest, and never lose count again. WHY TEMPO MATTERS Lifting to a set tempo — a slow lowering phase, a controlled lift, a pause — is one of the simplest ways to make every rep count. But keeping that tempo in your head while you push through a hard set is almost impossible. RepEcho does the counting for you. It beeps and vibrates on every phase, so all you have to do is move with the beat. SET A TEMPO LIKE 3-1-2 Use the classic tempo notation: lowering, pause at the bottom, lifting, pause at the top. Dial in something like 3-1-2 and RepEcho marks each phase with a clear cue. Your rep stays smooth and controlled from top to bottom. SETS, REPS AND REST — HANDLED Build a workout as a list of exercises, each with its own tempo, target reps, sets and rest. RepEcho counts your reps, then runs the rest timer automatically between sets, so you always know exactly when to go again. Add or trim rest on the fly with one tap. STAY ON THE BEAT, PHONE IN YOUR POCKET A Live Activity keeps your current set, rep and rest countdown right on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Leave your phone down and just listen — every beep is your cue. TEMPO PRESETS TO START IN SECONDS Presets for squats, push-ups, deadlifts, rows, curls and more get you moving right away. Or set your own tempo, reps, sets and rest for anything. CUES THAT WORK ANYWHERE Choose beeps, clicks, a spoken rep count, or go fully silent and train by haptics alone. Add a sub-beat each second and a 3-2-1 count-in if you like. SIMPLE AND PRIVATE No account, no sign-up. Everything stays on your device. RepEcho is a training aid: you choose your weights, your reps and your tempo — it keeps the beat. It is not medical or fitness advice.
