ADS AND PERMISSIONS The free version shows ads (Google AdMob): a banner on the timer screen while no workout is running, and an ad that can appear when you come back to the app. Ads never appear during a workout or in the 2 minutes after it. On first launch the app asks for permission to track you (App Tracking Transparency) and, where required, shows Google's consent form. This only decides whether ads are personalised; the timer works the same if you say no. No account or sign-up. The timer works offline; ads and purchases need an internet connection.
