Stop staring at your phone mid-routine. MoveCue runs the exercises you already do hands-free ā voice cues, lock-screen timer, music that keeps playing. You bring the routine ā from your physio, your trainer, a YouTube channel, 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 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 ā not placeholder beeps. Pick a haptic strength 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. ā New: plan a workout with AI ā ⢠Describe what you want in plain words ā "15-minute morning mobility for stiff hips" ā and MoveCue drafts a structured routine you can review, edit, and save. ⢠It's optional and runs only after you tap to agree. Your description is sent to our AI proxy; an on-device, anonymous summary of your recent training (no name, no measurements, no health data) helps tailor the plan. Nothing is sent until you opt in. ⢠Prefer to talk? Speech is transcribed on your device, and the raw audio never leaves your phone. ā Build it once, run it forever ā ⢠Build routines manually, pick exercises from the library, or let the AI planner structure them for you. ⢠Three movement types ā Reps, Timed hold, and Flow ā with per-set reps, holds, sides, weights, and work / rest intervals, all configurable. ⢠No stock videos, no curated content treadmill. You bring what your therapist or trainer gave you. ā Share routines with anyone ā ⢠Send any workout as a link. The receiver opens it in MoveCue and adds it to their library in one tap. ⢠Receivers without MoveCue get a clean web preview of the routine. ⢠Sharing also works for receiving ā therapists, trainers, and friends can send their routines to you. ā Stay with it, on your terms ā ⢠Schedule reminders for the days you commit to (Mon-Wed-Fri etc.). ⢠A heads-up notification before each session ā tap to start, reschedule it by 15 / 30 / 60 minutes, or skip the day. ⢠Quiet Hours pause reminders during your sleep window. ⢠Off-days don't break your streak. Skipped days don't either. ā See your progress ā ⢠Personal records track your best sets automatically, with per-exercise trends. ⢠Body-region progress shows what you've trained and what you've been neglecting. ⢠Calendar heat-map of every completed day, colored by how the session felt. ⢠Streak counter and longest-streak record. ⢠Save completed workouts to Apple Health (optional, write-only). ⢠Export a PDF report for your therapist. 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 only Pro: $2.99 / month or $14.99 / year (save ~58%) ā unlimited workouts, full history and heat-map, send + receive shares, the AI planner, and PDF export.
