CUSTOMIZABLE WORKOUTS WITH AUDIO GUIDANCE This app provides 7-minute workout routines with customization options and voice guidance for exercising without looking at your screen. MODIFICATION OPTIONS You can modify any workout by removing exercises, adding new ones, or changing their order using drag-and-drop. Exercise duration can be adjusted from the default 30 seconds to any length. Break periods are also adjustable from the default 10 seconds. You can create new workouts from scratch by adding exercises one at a time. Custom workouts get a name and description that you write. Any workout can be duplicated to create variations without rebuilding from scratch. Set default timing for all exercises, then override those defaults for specific movements needing different duration. Configure how many times a workout repeats automatically. VOICE ANNOUNCEMENTS The app speaks each exercise name before it begins, giving you time to get into position. During exercises, it provides countdown updates at intervals you configure—every 10 seconds, every 5 seconds, or other frequencies. At the end of each exercise, the app counts down the final seconds individually: "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, rest." Between exercises, it announces rest period duration. You can adjust countdown frequency and final countdown duration independently. Exercise name announcements can be turned off. AUDIO-ONLY OPERATION Exercises like planks require horizontal positioning facing the floor. Looking at a phone breaks proper form. Push-ups, mountain climbers, and similar movements have the same constraint. Voice guidance provides all necessary information through audio, so you maintain proper positioning throughout exercises without checking remaining time visually. MINIMAL VISUAL DISPLAY The screen shows current exercise information including name, description, and remaining time. A progress list shows all exercises, marking completed, active, and upcoming movements. Progress counters display your position numerically. These visual elements can be toggled on or off. Three typeface options are available. WORKOUT ORGANIZATION Custom workouts appear in the list with preset workouts. You can reorder this list using drag-and-drop. Edit mode allows modifying workout names and descriptions. Custom workouts can be deleted. Preset workouts can be hidden via settings. PRIVACY, NO ACCOUNT NEEDED, NO DATA COLLECTED All data is stored locally on your device. No account required, no personal information collected, no internet connectivity needed after download.
