BeepBop is a training timer with a real workout log behind it. Set your beeps, train, and everything you did is recorded. No second app for tracking. THREE WAYS TO TRAIN • Intervals — clean beeps for work and rest. HIIT, circuits, running, mobility. • EMOM — every minute on the minute drills, with the next move called before it starts. • Counters — sets, reps and weight for gym work, logged with a tap. A LIBRARY YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUILD Browse a full library of presets for free weights, machines and bodyweight training, or build your own from scratch and save it. Send a workout to a training partner and it opens straight in their app. YOUR BODY, MAPPED Every exercise is mapped to the muscles it works. Train something and it lights up; recover and it fades back. Tap a muscle group to see the exercises and workouts that hit it. APPLE WATCH — LEAVE THE PHONE IN YOUR BAG A full Apple Watch app runs your workout live on your wrist: heart rate, calories, and sets logged right at the rack. Sessions appear on your phone the moment you finish, and haptics take over when your phone is on silent. A COACH THAT KNOWS YOUR WEEK Tell BeepBop your goals, experience and available equipment, and it suggests workouts that fit. Every week you get a report: volume against last week, muscle groups trained, active days, heart rate trends, and the exercises you let slip. DESCRIBE A WORKOUT, GET A WORKOUT Say or type what you want — "20 minutes, dumbbells only, upper body" — and BeepBop builds it, ready to run. Included with BeepBop Premium. ALSO IN THE APP • Apple Health: workouts you record elsewhere show up in your history • Export finished sessions to your calendar • Full-screen timer that stays awake and readable from across the gym • Voice cues, custom sounds, and beeps that play over your music • Available in 16 languages BeepBop is free to use.

Both are free to download. BeepBop sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and PlateBird sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for BeepBop against 5.0 for PlateBird.
