Repko is the hands-free tempo timer for strength lifters. Say GO โ€” it counts every rep out loud in full 4-phase tempo (eccentric, pause, concentric, pause), while your hands never leave the bar. Three things, done right together: full 4-phase per-rep timing, real voice control (say GO, STOP, REPEAT โ€” actual commands, not just cues), and 100% on-device speech that works offline. New in 1.1: voice control no longer interrupts your music, a STOP command that keeps your rep count honest, iCloud backup, and an Apple Watch app that taps every tempo phase on your wrist. WHAT MAKES REPKO DIFFERENT โ€ข Full 4-phase tempo โ€” not 2 or 3. Eccentric, bottom pause, concentric, top pause, exactly as written: 3-1-2-0, or X for explosive. โ€ข Real hands-free control. Say GO to start, STOP to pause, REPEAT to redo a rep. Gloves, chalk, sweat โ€” it doesn't matter. โ€ข 100% on-device speech. Your voice never leaves your phone. Works with zero signal in a basement gym. โ€ข Speaks over your music without muting it. Beeps, cues, and countdowns mix in โ€” your playlist keeps playing at full volume. โ€ข Time under tension, tracked automatically. Every second of every phase, logged for you.
