Never miss a set. Just lift. Nextset is the hands-free gym timer built for people who actually lift. Tap Start once at the beginning of your workout - then put your phone down. A clean chime plays every time it's your turn to lift. No fumbling, no forgotten timers, no tapping between sets. HOW IT WORKS Pick your set time and rest time. Nextset auto-cycles - lift, rest, chime, repeat - so you can keep your focus on the bar. THE LIVE ACTIVITY DOES EVERYTHING Drive the whole session from your lock screen. Pause, resume, skip to your next set, or end the workout without ever unlocking your phone. Glance at the Dynamic Island between sets - your countdown is always there. KEY FEATURES ⢠One-tap start - enter your set and rest times, hit Start, pocket your phone ⢠Live Activity + Dynamic Island - full controls on the lock screen ⢠Auto-cycling work/rest - no more manual resets between sets ⢠8 chime sounds - Chirp, Ping, Bell, Triple, Whistle, Alarm, Gong, Pop ⢠Repeat the cue 1ā5Ć in a row so you never miss it in a loud gym ⢠Plays over music - ducks Spotify or Apple Music briefly, then resumes ⢠Whole-workout estimate - tell Nextset your set count, see your total time ⢠Unlimited or targeted sets - go forever or cap at 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 sets ⢠Dark, minimal design - built for low-light gyms and sweaty thumbs ⢠Works in your pocket - no need to keep the app open MADE FOR LIFTERS Bench, squat, deadlift, overhead press, accessories - if you rest between sets, Nextset works. Heavy compounds, supersets, drop sets, AMRAPs, timed holds. Plate-loaded, cable, machine, barbell, dumbbell. Doesn't matter. NO ACCOUNTS. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. NO ADS. NO PURCHASES. Nextset doesn't sell your data or push notifications. It runs locally on your device and only makes a sound when it's time to lift. TIPS ⢠Try 45s set + 2m rest for compound lifts ⢠Try 30s set + 60s rest for accessory work and supersets ⢠Use Triple or Alarm in loud commercial gyms, Bell or Gong when you lift solo ⢠Set a target number of sets to see exactly how long your workout will take Built for the rack. Made by a lifter.

SuppLab is a supplement tracker for people who take a few things every day and want to know two things: what it all costs, and whether any of it is making a difference. TRACK YOUR STACK ⢠Log every supplement and vitamin you take, with timing and on/off cycles ⢠Daily reminders that fit your routine ā morning or evening ⢠Monthly and yearly cost, so you always know what your stack costs ⢠Stack check: flags pairs that shouldn't be taken together (zinc + iron, and more) ⢠Label scan: point the camera at a label to add what's in it A LIBRARY YOU CAN CHECK ⢠111 supplements, from magnesium and creatine to ashwagandha and omega-3 ⢠Evidence graded strong, moderate or limited ā every reviewed entry links its PubMed sources ⢠What to expect and when, cautions, and drug interactions COMPARE TAKE-DAYS WITH SKIP-DAYS ⢠Pick one supplement and one primary measure: sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, energy, focus or mood ⢠SuppLab builds a randomized 14ā28 day take/skip schedule and reminds you each day ⢠Sleep, HRV and resting heart rate come from Apple Health; energy, focus and mood take a 10-second check-in ⢠At the end you see the average difference between take-days and skip-days with its uncertainty ā or a plain "not enough data" when there isn't enough This is a personal comparison, not a clinical trial. It can't prove cause and effect, and it is not medical advice. LONG-TERM VIEW ⢠Your last 28 days of Health data compared with the baseline you started from ⢠Export everything as CSV to share with your doctor PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠No account, no sign-up, no server. Everything stays on your iPhone. FREE AND PREMIUM The library, label scan, stack, reminders and cost tracking are free. Take/skip comparisons, result reports and the long-term view are part of SuppLab Premium (annual with a free trial, or weekly). SuppLab is an educational tool for healthy adults. Consult a healthcare professional before starting or stopping any supplement.
