SetReady
Read full descriptionHide full description
Know exactly when to start your next set. SetReady is the gym rest timer for weights. Start on iPhone and it times every set and rest from your rest profile, or add Apple Watch and it becomes a recovery coach: it tracks your heart rate between sets and tells you when you are ready. You don't need an Apple Watch, but if you have one, it's fully supported. Stop guessing your rest. Finish a set, tap it on your iPhone or Watch, and SetReady tracks elapsed and remaining rest. With Apple Watch it also shows the peak heart rate from your last set and how many beats you recover. An alert on iPhone, or a haptic on Apple Watch, tells you when it is time to get back under the bar. BUILT FOR THE GYM β’ Rest timer between sets on iPhone or Apple Watch, with Lock Screen alerts and haptic cues on the Watch β’ Live heart-rate recovery with Apple Watch: peak, beats recovered and target β’ Profiles for strength, hypertrophy, very heavy work or conditioning β’ Big iPhone controls: next set, pause and end, also on the Lock Screen β’ Keep your music or podcast playing while you lift YOUR PROGRESS AT A GLANCE β’ New home screen with your week, streak, last workout and rest profile β’ Monthly calendar with time, set and calorie rings β’ Training load charts and recovery trends β’ Every session in detail: timeline, heart-rate zones and set-by-set rests β’ Import workouts from Health, including runs, walks and rides with their route β’ Shareable performance report OPTIMIZED FOR IPHONE DUO On the inner display, home, live workout, history and summary flow into two columns, and nothing is split by the fold. SETREADY PRO Unlock unlimited history, recovery and load trends, advanced rest window tuning, workout automation and shareable reports. Without Pro you can still train with iPhone or Apple Watch, use the core rest timer and see your recent history. SetReady uses HealthKit, with your permission, to read heart rate and save workouts started on iPhone or Apple Watch. SetReady provides workout timing guidance only and is not medical advice.

Swayni is a voice-guided interval workout timer for people who bring their own routines. Tabata, HIIT, circuits, stretching: set the work, rest, and rounds, and Swayni calls out every change. You bring the routine. Swayni talks you through it. Stop glancing at a stopwatch on your screen: set your phone down, put your earbuds in, and let clear audio cues guide you through every exercise, rest period, and set. STRUCTURE YOUR ROUTINE: WORKOUT β GROUPS β EXERCISES β’ Group Management: Organize your workout into custom-named groups. Set rounds (sets), rest between exercises, and rest between groups. β’ Versatile Movements: Supports both timed holds (countdown timer) and repetition exercises (tempo/rhythm counting), with alternating left and right sides. β’ Independent Exercise Library: 86 built-in exercises with illustrated posture demonstrations.
