Stop staring at your phone mid-routine. MoveCue runs the exercises you already do hands-free ā voice cues, a lock-screen timer, music that keeps playing, and now taps on your Apple Watch. You bring the routine ā from your physio, your trainer, a YouTube channel, a printed handout, or your own head. MoveCue is the timer, the voice cue, and the lock-screen Live Activity that keeps you moving without picking up your phone. ā New: MoveCue on Apple Watch ā ⢠Start a workout on your wrist or your phone. MoveCue taps your wrist at every step while your phone talks you through it. ā Run any routine, hands-free ā ⢠Set down your phone, listen for the cue, do the rep, repeat. ⢠Voice cues call out each phase ("Hold", "Rest", "Switch sides"). ⢠Real sound cues for every phase, and haptics up to extra-hard so you feel every boundary, even with the phone in a pocket. ⢠Music keeps playing ā MoveCue ducks during cues, never stops. ⢠Record your own voice cues, and change the order of exercises mid-workout. ā Plan with MoveCue AI ā ⢠Describe what you want ā "15-minute morning mobility for stiff hips" ā and get one session or a full weekly plan you can review, edit, and save. ⢠New: take a photo of a handout or a gym sheet, and MoveCue turns it into a workout. ⢠Optional, and only after you tap to agree. What you type or say, and any photo you attach, goes through our server to our AI provider ā never your name, email, age, sex, height, weight or heart rate. ā Build it once, run it forever ā ⢠Build routines manually, start from a starter routine, pick from the exercise library, or let MoveCue AI do it. ⢠Reps, Timed hold, and Flow ā with per-set reps, holds, sides, weights, rests and supersets. ⢠No stock videos, no content treadmill. You bring what your therapist or trainer gave you. ā Share routines with anyone ā ⢠Send any workout as a link or a QR image. The receiver adds it to their library in one tap. ⢠No MoveCue? They get a clean web preview of the routine. ā Stay with it, on your terms ā ⢠Reminders on the days you commit to ā start now, snooze for 15 or 30 minutes, or skip the day. ⢠Quiet Hours pause reminders during your sleep window. ⢠Off-days and skipped days don't break your streak. ā See your progress ā ⢠Personal records, with a chart for each exercise. ⢠New: a body map of the areas you've trained, and a Body balance card. ⢠Fix what you logged after a workout, and your records update. ⢠A heat-map colored by how each session felt, streaks, and badges to earn. ⢠Save workouts to Apple Health (optional). Export a PDF or CSV report. ā What MoveCue won't do ā ⢠Make medical claims. MoveCue helps you follow your routine ā it doesn't replace your physio, trainer, or doctor. ⢠Push notifications guilting you about missed days. ⢠Show streak rankings, leaderboards, or social pressure. ā Pricing ā Free forever, with limits: ⢠3 saved workouts ⢠Last 7 days of stats and history ⢠Can receive shared workouts ⢠Manual building and starter routines Pro (monthly or yearly subscription): unlimited workouts, full history and heat-map, send + receive shares, MoveCue AI with photo import, and PDF and CSV export.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Orya Timer at none against MoveCue's 2. MoveCue's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.1 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
