Rest is a set too. Make every break count. Racked is a gym rest timer built to be seen from the rack and felt from your wrist. Huge 3D digits, tactile buttons and full-screen colour changes tell you exactly where you are: resting, getting ready, or ready to go. One tap starts your rest. One tap gets you into the next set. READY FOR IPHONE DUO Make room for your next set. On iPhone Duo's inner display, Racked separates the clock and controls into two clear panes, with space over the fold. Open wide for a side-by-side gym clock, or hold it tall for the clock above your controls. Your exercises stay within reach while the timer stays big. A STANDALONE APPLE WATCH APP Leave your phone in the locker. Start rests from your wrist, turn the Digital Crown to adjust the time, add 30 seconds or skip a rest, and get a wrist alert when it's time to lift. The Watch runs its own timer. Your exercise presets and settings can transfer from your paired iPhone. BUILT FOR THE SPACE BETWEEN SETS • Start with one tap and pick up with your last rest time. • Choose 1:00, 1:30, 2:00 or 3:00 presets, or drag the tape to set your own duration. • Save a different rest time, set count and working weight for each exercise. • Track which set you're on without filling out a workout log. • Add or subtract time, pause, resume or skip while resting. • See the plates for your next set, in pounds or kilograms. KNOW WHEN TO GO • A 10-second warning gives you time to get back under the bar. • The warning shifts from amber toward red, then a green GO screen marks the end of rest. • Optional overtime counting shows how far you've gone past zero. • Choose your alert sound, haptic strength and optional spoken cues. • Local notifications alert you with your phone locked, subject to your notification and Focus settings. • Optional music ducking lowers other audio during in-app alerts so your music keeps playing. YOUR TIMER, WHERE YOU NEED IT Follow the countdown on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities. Add 30 seconds or skip from the Live Activity. Start a rest from Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Siri, Shortcuts or an Action Button shortcut. On iOS 18 and later, add Racked to Control Center. Turn your phone sideways for a large landscape gym clock. WORK. REST. REPEAT. Switch to EMOM, Tabata or custom work/rest intervals on iPhone. Set your rounds and durations, follow the round timeline, see what's next, and pause or skip a phase as your session changes. DRESSED TO LIFT Pick Lights Out, Chalk, Night Shift, Safety Orange, Rainbow or Blacked Out, or choose your own accent colour. The digits and buttons keep their depth in every theme. ALL FEATURES. FREE. No subscription. No paid tier. No account required. No third-party ads. Works offline. Timer data and preferences stay on your devices. From the developer of TrackYourLift and Loaded. Focus on your next set. Racked will handle the rest.
