Stop staring at your phone mid-routine. MoveCue runs the exercises you already do hands-free โ voice cues, a lock-screen timer, music that keeps playing, and now taps on your Apple Watch. You bring the routine โ from your physio, your trainer, a YouTube channel, a printed handout, or your own head. MoveCue is the timer, the voice cue, and the lock-screen Live Activity that keeps you moving without picking up your phone. Using iPhone Duo? Fold it half-way on a table: the ring and exercise are on top, every button is below. Open it fully and your screens sit side by side. โ New: MoveCue on Apple Watch โ โข Start a workout on your wrist or your phone. MoveCue taps your wrist at every step while your phone talks you through it. โ Run any routine, hands-free โ โข Set down your phone, listen for the cue, do the rep, repeat. โข Voice cues call out each phase ("Hold", "Rest", "Switch sides"). โข Real sound cues for every phase, and haptics up to extra-hard so you feel every boundary, even with the phone in a pocket. โข Music keeps playing โ MoveCue ducks during cues, never stops. โข Record your own voice cues, and change the order of exercises mid-workout. โ Plan with MoveCue AI โ โข Describe what you want โ "15-minute morning mobility for stiff hips" โ and get one session or a full weekly plan you can review, edit, and save. โข New: take a photo of a handout or a gym sheet, and MoveCue turns it into a workout. โข Optional, and only after you tap to agree. What you type or say, and any photo you attach, goes through our server to our AI provider โ never your name, email, age, sex, height, weight or heart rate. โ Build it once, run it forever โ โข Build routines manually, start from a starter routine, pick from the exercise library, or let MoveCue AI do it. โข Reps, Timed hold, and Flow โ with per-set reps, holds, sides, weights, rests and supersets. โข No stock videos, no content treadmill. You bring what your therapist or trainer gave you. โ Share routines with anyone โ โข Send any workout as a link or a QR image. The receiver adds it to their library in one tap. โข No MoveCue? They get a clean web preview of the routine. โ Stay with it, on your terms โ โข Reminders on the days you commit to โ start now, snooze for 15 or 30 minutes, or skip the day. โข Quiet Hours pause reminders during your sleep window. โข Off-days and skipped days don't break your streak. โ See your progress โ โข Personal records, with a chart for each exercise. โข New: a body map of the areas you've trained, and a Body balance card. โข Fix what you logged after a workout, and your records update. โข A heat-map colored by how each session felt, streaks, and badges to earn. โข Save workouts to Apple Health (optional). Export a PDF or CSV report. โ What MoveCue won't do โ โข Make medical claims. MoveCue helps you follow your routine โ it doesn't replace your physio, trainer, or doctor. โข Push notifications guilting you about missed days. โข Show streak rankings, leaderboards, or social pressure. โ Pricing โ Free forever, with limits: โข 3 saved workouts โข Last 7 days of stats and history โข Can receive shared workouts โข Manual building and starter routines Pro (monthly or yearly subscription): unlimited workouts, full history and heat-map, send + receive shares, MoveCue AI with photo import, and PDF and CSV export.

Tabula Rasa is a blank slate: a minimalist timer for yoga, pranayama and meditation. No feeds, no streaks pressure, no noise. Paper, ink, and your practice. THE APP BREATHES WITH YOU Guided breath cues stretch to match your settings โ a 4-second inhale sounds like a 4-second inhale, an 8-second exhale lasts exactly 8 seconds. Choose from 9 sound packs: singing bowls, bells, tabla, woodblocks, water, or a real human breath recorded for each phase. SIX PRANAYAMAS Box Breathing, Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril), Kapalabhati (breath of fire), Bhramari, Ujjayi, Sitali โ each with precise phase timing and a calm ambient bed underneath. SIX MEDITATIONS Zen, Vipassana, Peaceful, Energy Rising, Buddha Inside, Sleep & Balance โ each with its own ambient soundscape. Set your duration, sit, listen. 42 ASANAS, READY-MADE FLOWS A full asana library with Sanskrit names, side-switch prompts and rest phases. Start with built-in sequences โ Sun Salutation, Morning Wake, Hip Reset, Wind Down โ or compose your own. APPLE WATCH, TRULY STANDALONE Every practice runs on the Watch by itself: sounds, haptic guidance for each breath and pose change, no iPhone required. Your custom sessions sync over automatically, and completed practices land in your history and Apple Health. BUILT TO DISAPPEAR One tap starts your practice. The interface fades away and leaves you with your breath. Your own music from Apple Music can play underneath. Mindful minutes are written to Apple Health. PREMIUM Unlock every sound pack, all meditations, unlimited custom compositions, session history with streaks, and iCloud sync. Subscriptions: monthly with 7-day free trial, annual, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tabula Rasa at none against MoveCue's 2. MoveCue's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
