Every minute, on the minute. A bell rings. You do your reps. You wait for the next bell. Thirty times. That is the whole app. SET TWO NUMBERS How long a set runs, and how many. Everything else follows — ask for thirty minutes of one minute sets and it works out the rounds for you. IT TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO The screen says "10 Burpees", not "Work". The movement and the reps are part of the routine, so your history counts what you actually did without you tapping anything mid workout. BUILT FOR A PHONE ON THE FLOOR Cues are committed to the audio timeline the moment you start, so they land on the second whether the app is open, in your pocket, or the screen is locked. A three-two-one into every boundary. At the midpoint of every round, a line you have not heard yet. YOUR MUSIC KEEPS PLAYING Nothing stops Spotify. Ducking is there if you want it, and off if you don't. Mute is one tap on the workout screen. THE LEDGER A streak, a five week grid, and a lifetime count split by movement. Finish a session early and it still records the rounds you finished. NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER No sign in. No tracking. No analytics. Nothing is ever sent to us. Your history syncs through your own iCloud, so a new phone picks up where the old one left off.
