Everything runs entirely on your device. WHAT YOU GET • Work / rest intervals with an automatic rep counter • Default 45s work / 15s rest — the classic plank routine • Built-in presets: 45/15, 30/30, and 50/10 • Custom intervals in 5-second steps for any routine you like • Countdown beeps on the last 5 seconds of every phase, so you always know when to switch • A longer tone at each phase change (work → rest → work) • Haptic feedback on the final seconds • Sound plays even when your ringer is on silent • Screen stays awake during your workout • Clean, high-contrast display that's easy to read mid-plank WHY PLANK YOU Most timers are cluttered with ads, accounts, and features you'll never use.

PRIVACY Plank You collects no data and contains no third-party tracking or advertising. Your workouts stay on your iPhone. Hold the plank. Plank You handles the clock.
