Loovre
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your hands are busy. Your phone still films every round. Loovre is a video interval timer for training where you can't touch your phone: boxing, MMA, muay thai, karate, BJJ, weightlifting, gymnastics, calisthenics, climbing. Tap Start once and put the phone down. During every work interval Loovre records you. During every rest it automatically replays the round you just did, full screen. Then the next round starts. Between Start and Stop you never touch the screen. HOW IT WORKS - Set delay, work, rest and repeats - Work: the camera records automatically - Rest: instant replay of what you just did - Repeat until the timer ends the session for you START WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SCREEN - Long-press Start, then tap the phone body three times — works with gloves on - During rest, tap twice to re-watch the last seconds in slow motion (0.5x) - Start and stop from supported AirPods (Camera Remote, H2 chip or newer) - Start, stop and gestures from your Apple Watch APPLE WATCH AND HEART RATE - Full watchOS app: phase, countdown and set number on your wrist - Live heart rate, calories and five heart-rate zones - Tap the watch three times to start, twice for slow-motion replay WORKOUT HISTORY AND APPLE HEALTH - Every session lands in your journal: rounds, durations, heart rate, calories - Heart-rate chart and time in zones for each workout - Workouts saved to Apple Health, with every work interval as a segment - Export any round as a video with full metadata A REAL CAMERA - Front and back cameras with seamless zoom across lenses - Up to 4K at 60 fps, HEVC - Manual exposure, torch and focal-length display - Your music keeps playing while you record BUILT AROUND YOUR TRAINING - Timer presets for different routines - Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island - Sound and flash signals for phase changes (screen, camera LED or both) - Optional saving to Photos PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking, no cloud. Everything runs and stays on your device. FREE AND PRO The free version is fully usable: the complete record-and-replay loop, tap gestures, slow-motion replay, Apple Watch, heart rate, workout history and Apple Health — with recording limited to 720p / 24 fps, basic quality and 3 rounds per session, and round videos are not kept. Loovre Pro unlocks 4K / 60 fps and higher quality, custom timers, saving to Photos and keeping round videos in History. Pro is available monthly, yearly (with a 7-day free trial) or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Loovre does not score, count or correct your technique. It shows you your round while it still matters — so you can fix the next one yourself, or share the video with your coach.
