MAX PAIN is an on-device accountability coach for people who are done negotiating with themselves. Any Fitness hardware is compatible as long as it logs information into Apple Health App. Pick how it talks to you — Drill Sergeant, Firm Coach, or Southern Belle — then set the intensity. Higher means louder, harsher, less mercy. Apple's Health app verifies real effort (time + calories). Miss the standard and the app doesn’t pretend you showed up. Designed around Apple watch but any device that logs information into Apple health app works! IF a work out is not detected it’s time to move! Match the frame and do the work. Built for gym days, deep-work blocks, and the mornings you’d rather snooze forever. No account. No subscription. One purchase — then it’s yours. Help yourself be accountable.
