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.
