Never lose count of a set or cut a rest short again. TempoReps is a workout and interval timer for strength training, HIIT, gym circuits, and WOD-style sessions: Tempo, EMOM, TABATA, AMRAP, For Time, MIX, Rest, Stopwatch, and Mirror in one focused app. 9 MODES — INCLUDED - TEMPO: Sets x Reps with full tempo control (3-0-X-1 notation). Control eccentric, concentric, and pause phases for strength and muscle work. - EMOM: Every Minute On the Minute with custom intervals and visible round summaries - TABATA: High-intensity interval training with configurable work/rest phases - AMRAP: As Many Rounds As Possible with countdown timer - FOR TIME: Count up with optional time cap and round tracking - MIX: Build custom gym circuits combining work, rest, and any interval type - REST: dedicated rest timer for recovery between sets, attempts, or supersets, with a visible set counter and one-tap reset after each interval - STOPWATCH: Simple stopwatch with centisecond precision - MIRROR: Work at your pace, then let rest mirror your effort with a configurable work-to-rest ratio COMPANION FEATURES INCLUDED - Apple Watch app with all 9 modes on your wrist - Live Activity on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Playback audio with a Settings sound check, queued voice countdowns, and custom haptics FREE — AND IT STAYS FREE All nine timers, the Apple Watch app, the Live Activity, the beep, voice and percussion alerts, the haptics: none of it sits behind a purchase. No account, no ads, no session limit, nothing that expires. The free tier also holds 2 saved configurations and MIX circuits of up to 2 blocks, and whatever you already saved keeps running untouched. WHAT TEMPOREPS PRO ADDS Two things, both about your library. Saved configurations go from 2 to 20, so Monday's tempo work, Thursday's EMOM and your warm-up all sit one tap away. And the 2-block cap on MIX disappears, so a whole circuit — work, rest, AMRAP, back to work — fits into a single saved workout. That is the entire difference: no mode is added, none is taken away.

Current prices in your currency are listed in the In-App Purchases section of this page and on the Pro screen inside the app. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends; cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.

About

Repko

Read full description

Repko is the hands-free tempo timer for strength lifters. Say GO — it counts every rep out loud in full 4-phase tempo (eccentric, pause, concentric, pause), while your hands never leave the bar. Three things, done right together: full 4-phase per-rep timing, real voice control (say GO, STOP, REPEAT — actual commands, not just cues), and 100% on-device speech that works offline. New in 1.1: voice control no longer interrupts your music, a STOP command that keeps your rep count honest, iCloud backup, and an Apple Watch app that taps every tempo phase on your wrist. WHAT MAKES REPKO DIFFERENT • Full 4-phase tempo — not 2 or 3. Eccentric, bottom pause, concentric, top pause, exactly as written: 3-1-2-0, or X for explosive. • Real hands-free control. Say GO to start, STOP to pause, REPEAT to redo a rep. Gloves, chalk, sweat — it doesn't matter. • 100% on-device speech. Your voice never leaves your phone. Works with zero signal in a basement gym. • Speaks over your music without muting it. Beeps, cues, and countdowns mix in — your playlist keeps playing at full volume. • Time under tension, tracked automatically. Every second of every phase, logged for you. FREE — THE COMPLETE TIMER • Full 4-phase tempo timer with per-phase beeps and 3-2-1 countdowns • Voice GO/STOP before the first rep of each set • Apple Watch: wrist taps for every tempo phase • iPad full-screen layout • Automatic iCloud backup and restore • Your 10 most recent sessions, plus a 74-achievement skill tree PRO — IF YOU WANT MORE • Voice control on every rep, plus REPEAT • Spoken rep countdowns and rest call-outs • Custom trigger words — make it answer to anything • Charts, TUT trends, and lifetime analytics • Unlimited history and CSV export • Unlimited presets and 8 color themes LOYALTY, REWARDED Keep training with Repko and you may wake up to a gift: the developer gives loyal, returning users a free lifetime PRO upgrade. No strings attached. Built by a lifter for his own training. No ads. No account. Your data stays on your device. --- Repko PRO is an auto-renewing subscription: $3.99/month or $24.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://repko.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://repko.app/privacy
