Your workout, now on your wrist. WristCoach turns any workout video, handwritten plan or screenshot into a guided session on your Apple Watch. It identifies the exercises, intervals, sets, and rest periods, then organizes everything into a workout you can follow without your phone. See what's next, hear the coach name each exercise, get notified when it's time to switch, and see your heart rate on the watch as you go. Your phone can stay in your bag — you've got everything you need right on your wrist. HOW IT WORKS 1. Share or paste a workout video link (YouTube, TikTok), type a workout ("4 rounds: 40s box jumps, 20s rest"), or photograph a written plan. 2. Review the parsed workout — every step editable: names, durations, sets, rest periods, warmup. 3. Start it on your Apple Watch, or on your iPhone when you're not wearing the watch. Prefer Apple's Workout app? Export any workout to it with one tap. BUILT FOR REAL TRAINING • A coach voice that welcomes you, names every exercise before it starts, and sums up when you're done — six voices to choose from • Understands workout language: circuits, EMOM, Tabata, supersets, rounds, work/rest intervals • Reads the on-screen drill names in training videos — your watch shows "Icky Shuffle," not "Interval 3" • Sport-aware: soccer drills, running intervals, strength sessions, and more • Heart-rate zone targets on every step, with a buzz when you drift out • Started on iPhone? Continue on your Apple Watch mid-workout, as one Health workout • Schedule workouts ahead — once, weekly, every 2 weeks, or monthly — with a reminder before it's time • History keeps every finished workout, with heart rate, calories and time in zone • Your library syncs across devices PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your heart rate stays on your devices. WristCoach reads it during a workout to show your zone and saves the finished workout to Apple Health; it is never uploaded to us or shared with anyone. Your plan syncs through your own private iCloud database, which we cannot read. No ads, no trackers, no analytics. Delete your account and all of its data anytime, right in the app. Requires iOS 18 or later. The Apple Watch app requires watchOS 10 or later and is optional — WristCoach runs the same workout on iPhone alone. WristCoach provides workout structure, not medical advice — consult a physician before beginning any exercise program.
