Stop scrolling. Start lifting. Lockout is a workout timer that fights for your attention span. Run long on a rest period and it interrupts you instantly with a siren, an air horn, or an aggressive music switch, because you don't want it to. Turn on Total Lockout and every other app is blocked for the length of your workout. Phone down, head up, no Instagram between sets. LIFT • Structured sets-and-rest plans, or a one-tap freeform rest timer • Loud interruptions when you run over on rest, and you choose how loud • Total Lockout blocks distracting apps until your workout ends • A plate calculator and "same as last" make logging a set take seconds • Automatic PR detection. Beat your number and the trophy just lands • Progress charts that zoom to your real range RUN • Run Mode coaches your pace out loud with live "pick it up" and "ease off" cues • Choose a distance, a goal time, a race target, or HIIT intervals • Outdoor or treadmill, with incline you set up front or change mid-run • Live mile splits, a finish prediction, and your route on the map • RunLock blocks TikTok, texts, and the rest for the whole run. Emergency calls always get through • Forgot to track one? Log it by hand. Run history keeps your PRs YOUR MUSIC, YOUR SERVICE • Apple Music or Spotify, whichever you already pay for • Auto-plays when you start, ducks for voice cues, reacts to interruptions • Spotify control requires Spotify Premium and the Spotify app EVERYWHERE YOU TRAIN • Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • An Apple Watch timer with one-tap set ends, and auto-pause when you pull your AirPods • Streaks, history, and one-tap resume of your last routine • Light, dark, and bold themes, including Charged Built for the people behind you.

RankXP turns your training into a rank. Nine ranks, Trainee to Legend. Your lifts, your push ups and pull ups, and your running all feed one experience bar. No feed, no followers, nobody to impress but yourself. WHAT RANK ARE YOU? Rank thresholds are built on published strength and race time benchmarks. Log a real max, a real set, a real run, and find out where you actually stand. The top ranks need all three, so RankXP ranks the balanced athlete rather than the specialist. EVERY RUN COUNTS Any run with a distance and a time earns experience. Your fastest mile, 5K, 10K and half marathon each count, and one long run can set several bests at once. Road or treadmill, it all counts. YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account. Nothing to sign up for. RankXP works fully offline. Everything you log stays on your device, backed up with your iPhone like anything else, and you can export it anytime. BUILT FOR THE GYM FLOOR A rest timer that actually goes off with your phone locked, on silent, over your music. Sets pre-filled with what you did last time. Plate calculator, supersets, warm up and drop sets, and a stopwatch on every set. PROOF YOU SHOWED UP Personal records detected the moment you hit them. Milestone unlocks, streaks, balanced weeks, a training calendar, monthly recaps, and a time capsule of every rank you have earned and the day you earned it. SHAREABLE RANK CARDS Save a clean card of your rank and your stats. Post it, send it to your gym buddy, or keep the receipt. Nothing is ever posted for you. FREE, AND GENEROUS ABOUT IT Your full history is never locked behind a paywall. Neither are ranks, records, the exercise library, or the built in Foundation program. RankXP Pro unlocks unlimited custom routines. That is it. Lifetime includes Family Sharing, so one purchase covers your household. SWITCHING FROM ANOTHER APP Bring your history with you. RankXP imports workout exports from other trackers, and your imported training earns rank from day one. You do not start from zero.
