Stop tracking sets in your head. Plus One is a dead-simple workout counter built for the gym. Tap anywhere on the screen to count a set, the entire screen is your button. No fumbling, no menus, no distractions between you and your next rep. The built-in rest timer starts automatically after every tap and resets for the next set. Set your rest period once, then ignore it. If you've been resting too long, an overdue alert shows exactly how many seconds you're over, so you always know when to move. Your count stays visible even when your phone is locked. Live Activities display your set count and timer directly on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. Pick up your phone mid-rest and know exactly where you are. Recent timer presets are saved automatically, so your go-to rest periods are always one tap away. Adjust rest time by hours, minutes, and seconds with a clean picker, then get back under the bar. Monochrome. Monospaced. No color, no clutter. Plus One is designed to get out of your way so you can focus on the only thing that matters — the work. Download Plus One. Count your sets. Rest smarter.
