The log book that runs your workout. APX Tempo isn't another timer, and it isn't another spreadsheet with a gym logo. It's a training diary with a voice — it counts you in, calls your work and rest, and writes the session down so you never have to remember what you did last time. Terms of Use: https://apx-legal.vercel.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://apx-legal.vercel.app/privacy QUICK TIMER, FREE Open the app, set a work interval and a rest interval, go. No account. No signup. No setup screen between you and your first set. The free tier is a real timer, not a demo. YOUR LOG, KEPT AUTOMATICALLY Finish a workout and it's recorded — nothing to type after the fact. What you ran, how long, and when: streaks, a color-coded week strip, and all-time training totals. Your history is a training record, not a feed. AUDIO THAT COACHES THE SESSION "Get ready — 3, 2, 1, GO." Spoken cues and chimes on every transition, built for a loud room — so you keep your eyes on the bar instead of your phone. Cues keep firing with the screen locked, your phone in your pocket, and your own music playing, never pausing or ducking your playlist. Full audio, chimes only, voice only, or silent. BUILT FOR HOW LIFTERS ACTUALLY TRAIN Multi-exercise circuits with distinct work, rest, and round-reset phases. Single-limb and staggered set support. Set it once, save it, run it every week without touching anything. FULL DETAIL, ON YOUR CALENDAR Optional calendar sync writes every completed session to your calendar with the whole story: work, rest, and round-reset structure, sets per exercise, your exercise list, and real elapsed time. Tap last Tuesday and see exactly what you did. BUILT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IT'S USED IN Dark interface that doesn't blind you in a dim gym. Controls big enough to hit with chalked hands. No ads, no notifications guilting you into a workout. It does one job and gets out of the way. APX TEMPO PRO Pro unlocks unlimited saved custom timers, multi-exercise circuits and phase sequencing, the full audio cue engine, session history, and calendar sync. $4.99/month or $29.99/year with a one-week free trial, or $59.99 one-time lifetime. Quick Timer stays free forever, with or without Pro. PRIVACY No account required. No advertising. Your training data stays on your device. APX Tempo is the log book layer of the APX training system — the first of a connected set of tools built for people who train seriously and want their data to be useful instead of decorative. APX Tempo Pro subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID account settings. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew. Questions or feedback: Jesse@apex-precision-training.com
