About

Tempo Pulse

Features
Read full description

Tempo is a fast interval timer that turns plain-English workout descriptions into structured intervals you can run. Describe what you want — "8 rounds of 30 seconds work and 15 seconds rest", "tabata", "20 minutes mixed boxing", or paste a list of strength sets — and Tempo converts it into a timed workout with audio cues, haptic feedback, and a clean ring display. If you'd rather skip the prompt, jump into a preset: Tabata, Quick HIIT, Sprint Intervals, or Long Endurance. WHAT YOU GET • AI workout generation from free-form text — type it or dictate it • Tabata, HIIT, EMOM, and custom interval support • Strength block support with sets, reps, and rest-between-sets • Boxing rounds with corner-rest interludes • Built-in countdown timer and stopwatch • Spoken cues in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Polish — automatic language detection from the exercise name • Voice characters: natural, hero, robot, more • Configurable haptic feedback and 3-2-1 countdown beeps • Live "Up Next" banner so you always know what's coming • Per-session summary and history of recent workouts • Calendar of your training — plan workouts ahead, get reminders, and apply a weekly template (Pro) • Multiple themes including OLED-friendly Calm and high-contrast Volt • Workout-complete notification with sound, even when the app is in the background • Auto-dim screen during workouts to save battery • Screen lock with double-tap-to-unlock for pocket protection mid-set • Shake to pause (toggle in Settings) PRIVACY Tempo is built to stay out of your way. No account is required. Analytics are anonymous (no user identifier). Crash reports contain stack traces only — never your prompts or workout content. When you dictate a workout, the audio is sent to OpenAI for transcription and discarded; the text prompt itself is sent to OpenAI to generate the workout structure and is not stored on Tempo's servers afterward. Full details: tempo-eta-kohl.vercel.app/privacy SUBSCRIPTION / PRICING Tempo is free to download and use. The timer, presets, your own workouts, workout history, voices and themes are free for everyone, along with 5 AI-generated workouts every month and the current month in the calendar. Tempo Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, available monthly or yearly (the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial). Pro adds up to 100 AI-generated workouts a month (instead of 5), your full calendar history, every saved workout, and workout planning with reminders and a weekly template. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by country. Payment is charged to your account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage or cancel it in your account settings at any time. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ WHO IT'S FOR • Lifters who want a clean strength-block runner with proper rest tracking • HIIT / Tabata users who don't want to count rounds • Boxers and martial artists running classic 3-minute rounds • Runners doing structured sprint intervals • Anyone tired of fiddling with generic countdown apps
