Boulder Rest helps you rest between attempts when you board climb. When you're working a hard boulder ā on a board, a spray wall, or your gym's hardest line ā the rest between attempts is part of the training. Boulder Rest makes it effortless to rest at least as long as you planned, then reset with a single tap and get back on the wall. REST IN ONE TAP ⢠Start a session, then tap Short or Long after each attempt ā the timer counts up, so you always know you've rested enough. ⢠Elapsed time and your target at a glance, with a ring that fills as you recover. CONTROL IT WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR BOARD APP ⢠A Live Activity puts your rest time visible while using other board climbing apps. ⢠Reset to a Short or Long rest right from there ā no app-switching mid-session. KNOW YOUR SESSIONS ⢠Every session is saved with your rest count, total rest time, and target. ⢠Tap a session to see each rest ā requested vs. actually achieved ā plus a chart of your rests over time, so you can tell whether you're really resting enough. MAKE IT YOURS ⢠Set your own Short and Long rest durations. ⢠Optional notification when your rest is up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Everything stays on your device and syncs only between your iPhone and (optionally) your Apple Watch. Rest smart, send harder & get strong!
