Give your eyes, body, and mind room to unwind. Enjoy your phone. Remember to take a break. Ready for some phone time? Your pony starts with a simple question: “Are you sure you want to open this app?” Turn on Leisure mode for regular reminders to put down your phone, look away, and get up and move, at intervals you choose. Enjoy your downtime, and give your eyes and body a little rest along the way. Focus for a while. Unwind for a while. Whether you are working hard, studying, or taking a little downtime, your pony keeps you company and reminds you to move, drink some water, and relax at your chosen intervals. Focus matters, but rest matters even more. Leave a little space in your day, with a break alongside every stretch of focus. Find your rhythm Keep track of your focus time, leisure time, breaks, and completed activities in PonyPause, and look back on your daily habits.

RepReady

RepReady is a strength training planner that decides what you should train today — based on how often you go, what equipment your gym has, and how the last few sessions actually felt. It's for people who'd rather follow a clean, science-backed plan than spend mental energy second-guessing their split, their volume, or whether bench-bench-bench is enough. WHY REPREADY — Plans built around your real gym. Tell us what's there — barbell, racks, that one cable machine — and every workout we suggest only uses what you actually have. No "find a substitute" puzzle on the gym floor. — No more comfort-zone training. The engine keeps you covering all five movement patterns — push, pull, squat, hinge, and core — so chest day doesn't quietly drown out your legs. — Pick a methodology, the engine handles the rest. Full-body, Upper/Lower, Push/Pull/Legs, Body-Part Split — the major splits are built in. Beginners get a recommendation; advanced lifters pick what fits. — RPE-aware adjustments. Last set felt too heavy? The next session backs off automatically. Felt too easy? Weight goes up. Your body's actual state is part of the math. — Records that tell a story. Estimated 1RM curves, weekly tonnage, movement-pattern coverage — every session feeds the picture, no manual tracking required. — Two-a-day friendly. Train AM and PM? The engine notices what you already did and rotates the next session away from it. PRIVACY-FIRST RepReady has no backend. No accounts, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, no advertising. Everything you log lives on your device, syncs through your private iCloud / CloudKit container (which we cannot access), and disappears when you uninstall. REQUIREMENTS iPhone running iOS 17 or later. iCloud account optional but recommended for cross-device sync. — Made by Zen Mind Studio. Questions or feedback: legal@zenmindstudio.com
