WODit is the ultimate WOD timer and workout clock for CrossFit athletes, functional fitness enthusiasts, and anyone who trains with timed workouts, on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Whether you're pushing through an AMRAP, pacing an EMOM, grinding a Sprint, or surviving a Tabata, WODit gives you a clean, distraction-free timer with numbers you can read from across the box, and audio cues that warn you 3 seconds before every transition. BUILT FOR FUNCTIONAL FITNESS Every format you train with, out of the box: - AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible): set a time cap, hit start, count your rounds. WODit tracks every split. - EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute): set your intervals and let WODit keep you honest, with an audio cue on every minute. - Tabata: the classic 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off. WODit handles the timing so you can focus on effort. - Sprint: time a workout to completion, ideal for "For Time" pieces. - Custom Workouts: build your own structure with your own work and rest intervals, rounds and countdown. Type a rep scheme like 21-15-9 and WODit sets the reps for every round, so you never build a workout round by round again. THE BENCHMARKS, BUILT IN The workouts every athlete measures themselves against are ready to run: Fran, Grace, Helen, Cindy, Murph, DT, Chad, 2k Row, Fight Gone Bad, the CrossFit Total and more. Tap one and WODit builds the whole workout for you, ready to start. Results are tracked separately for Men's Rx, Women's Rx and Scaled, so you always know where you stand. YOUR PERSONAL BESTS Track your rep maxes across the movements that matter, from back squat, clean and jerk and snatch to pull-ups, muscle-ups, rowing and running. Log a 1RM by hand, or let WODit save it straight from a finished workout. It spots a new PR the moment you set it, and every session lands in your workout history so you can review your splits and watch your performance evolve. Every set you log also feeds an estimated max, so with WODit+ you can see what you could lift today and how it's trending across rep ranges. NEVER MISS A TRANSITION Lock your phone and keep training. WODit runs a live timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with your round and progress updating as you work, and you can pause or resume without unlocking. Prefer a buzz? Switch to notification cues. Your screen stays awake throughout. SHARE YOUR SESSIONS Built a workout worth repeating? Send it to a training partner as a link. They tap it and it opens in their WODit, ready to go.
