Splitline

Splitline is a clean, sequence-driven workout split tracker built for consistent training. Instead of locking your program to fixed weekdays, Splitline treats your split as a living rotation. If you take an unexpected rest day, skip a session, or choose a different workout, the sequence adjusts logically so your plan still makes sense tomorrow. Open the app and you immediately know what today is: - today's split - whether it is a workout or rest day - your current streak - the next few days in the line Splitline is designed to feel calm, motivating, and easy to trust. Why Splitline feels different - Rotating split logic that follows your actual training, not a rigid calendar - Simple daily completion flow with room for rest days, skips, and workout overrides - Elegant streak milestones that reward consistency without noisy gamification - Clear progress view with current streak, longest streak, completed workouts, and momentum markers - Local on-device persistence with SwiftData for fast, private, dependable tracking - Minimal program editor for renaming, reordering, and resetting your split Whether you train on a push-pull-legs variation, a custom bodybuilding split, or a repeating strength routine, Splitline helps you stay consistent without overthinking the calendar.

Pod2Swim turns your swim into podcast time. Bluetooth doesn't work underwater, so Pod2Swim loads your favourite podcasts straight onto a Shokz OpenSwim — or any headset that mounts as USB storage — ready to play, lap after lap. No phone at the poolside, no streaming, no signal required. HOW IT WORKS • Subscribe to any podcast with the built-in search. • Browse the newest episodes from all your shows in one chronological feed. • Queue what you want for your next swim — Pod2Swim downloads it in the background. • Plug in your headset and export the whole queue in a single tap, in playback order. • Scan the headset any time to see exactly what's loaded. BUILT FOR SWIMMERS • Your audio lives on the headset, so you can leave the phone in the locker. • Adjustable playback speed from 0.75× to 2.5× per podcast, with the pitch preserved — fit more in before the pool closes. • Choose Replace All or Add to End on transfer, so you stay in control of what's on the device. • Episodes land in playback order, so your queue plays exactly as you arranged it. SIMPLE STORAGE • The queue is the single source of truth — add to download, remove to free space. • See total downloaded storage and clear it in one tap. • Optional auto-delete after export keeps things tidy. FREE TRIAL, ONE-TIME PURCHASE • Download free and try everything for 7 days. • One single purchase unlocks Pod2Swim forever — no subscription. • Bought Pod2Swim when it was a paid download? You're unlocked automatically, at no extra cost. Pod2Swim works with the OpenSwim, OpenSwim Pro, and other MP3-player headsets that appear as a USB drive in the Files app. You'll need a USB-C or Lightning adapter to connect the headset to your iPhone. Pod2Swim is not affiliated with Shokz. Shokz and OpenSwim are trademarks of their respective owner.
