About

Ynter

Features
Read full description

Ynter is a free interval timer that speaks the language of LLMs. No subscriptions. No "Pro" tier. No locked screens. Every feature in Ynter is unlocked from the moment you install — including the ones below. If the app earns a spot in your week, an optional tip jar is how you say thanks. That's the whole business model. Bring your own coach: any LLM Ynter reads a simple JSON lesson format. That means you can ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other model to design a workout for you — "give me a 25-minute kettlebell EMOM for shoulders," "build me a beginner yoga flow with long holds" — copy the result, paste it into Ynter, and run it. Your training plans live with you, not behind someone's API key. There's a built-in import sheet with the prompt format ready to go. Hand it to your LLM of choice and you have a tailored workout in under a minute. Built-in lessons to start with Don't want to prompt anything? Ynter ships with ready-to-run routines: • HIIT & Tabata — 45/15, 20/10, classic intervals • Yoga flows — long holds with gentle pacing • Strength sets — work, rest, rounds, done • Quick warm-ups — six minutes when that's all you've got A real editor for custom workouts Prefer to build by hand? The lesson editor lets you set every step's name, work time, rest time, and rounds. Tap any duration to type an exact value on the number pad. Save it, run it, share it. Reps for strength and machine work Not everything is a countdown. Switch a step to reps and Ynter drops the work timer — do the set at your own pace and tap "Done" when you're finished. Only the rest is timed. Perfect for the weight room, on iPhone and Apple Watch. Edit with Apple Intelligence On devices with Apple Intelligence, rewrite a lesson right in the editor: "double all rests," "add a cool-down," "turn this into a 20-minute session." The on-device model rewrites the lesson privately and offline — nothing leaves your device — and you review the result before saving. Live Activity & Dynamic Island Glance at your phone face-down on the bench: current interval, round, and time remaining sit right on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. No unlock needed. Apple Watch app, included Lessons sync to your wrist. Haptics fire on the Watch. Sessions keep running even if your phone is across the room. iCloud sync across every device Build a lesson on your Mac, run it on your iPhone, finish it on your Watch. Same routines, every screen. Voice cues that respect your music Spoken countdowns ride along on top of whatever you're listening to instead of cutting it. Mute the voice and you still get a bell and a haptic tap. Premium voices supported when installed. iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch Built in SwiftUI for every Apple platform you own. What you get — all free: • Paste-in JSON lesson import (works great with any LLM) • Built-in HIIT, Tabata, yoga, and strength lessons • Custom lesson editor with work/rest/rounds — plus rep-based steps and exact number-pad entry • Apple Intelligence lesson editing (on supported devices) • Live Activity & Dynamic Island • Apple Watch app with haptics • iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Watch • Spoken interval cues with music ducking • Background audio • No ads. No tracking. No subscriptions. No paywalled features. Optional tip jar if you want to support development. Get the workout your AI just designed. Ynter will count.

Keging — a Kegel timer that guides you by feel Squeeze. Relax. Repeat. Keging runs your squeeze-and-relax cycles for the seconds and reps you choose, and tells you each phase with a vibration. Completely free — no ads, no purchases. ā–  How it works • One big Start button. A short countdown, then your first squeeze begins • Squeeze as the circle shrinks, let go as it swells • Finish every rep and the set is saved. A set you stop midway isn't recorded ā–  Pick a preset • A preset is one cycle: ready time, squeeze, relax, reps, rounds. You start with "Default" (10 s squeeze, 5 s relax, 20 reps, about 5 minutes) • Swipe left or right on the main screen to switch presets, then tap Start • Ready 0–10 s, squeeze and relax 1–60 s, 1–100 reps. Make as many presets as you like • Rounds — do several sets in a row with a rest in between. Each set is recorded • Your presets are sent to Apple Watch as they are ā–  Haptic cues — no need to look • Squeeze and relax start with different vibrations, so you know what to do with the phone in your pocket • Three patterns (Standard, Two Taps, Long Buzz) for squeeze and relax, with a preview • Sound cues too (chime, beep or voice), or silent for haptics only. Optional 3-second countdown • A long celebratory buzz when you finish • Timer and haptics keep going in other apps or with the screen off ā–  Dynamic Island and Lock Screen • Leave the app mid-workout and a live status appears in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen • The set is drawn as a timeline in squeeze (mint) and relax (amber), with a line that moves in real time and the remaining time • A Stop button on the Lock Screen and in the island — end a set without opening the app • A "Discreet Display" with the timeline only, and optional phase banners in other apps ā–  Widgets and Control Center • Widgets (small, medium, large): today's sets and reps, the last 7 days, recent records and a Start button • Add a Start control to Control Center or the Lock Screen • Assign a preset to a widget or control, or tell Siri "Start (preset) in Keging" • A watch complication opens Keging ā–  Apple Watch • Open the watch app and tap Start. The workout runs on your wrist, haptics included. Double Tap works too • Swipe up or down to pick a preset — the same list as on your iPhone • Start on iPhone and the watch app opens by itself to measure your heart rate. Haptics play only where you started • Haptic and Health settings live on the watch itself (swipe left) • Sets finished on the watch flow into your iPhone stats ā–  Statistics • Swipe up from the main screen: daily, weekly, monthly • The day timeline shows when you worked out as dots on a 24-hour axis, with arrows and a calendar for past days • Weekly: reps by day plus a 7-day timeline. Monthly: reps by day and totals • Swipe a record left to delete it, along with its Health workout • Totals include exercise time, and every record can be exported as CSV ā–  Apple Health and Shortcuts • Completed sets are saved to Apple Health as workouts (type and effort adjustable, or turn it off) • With a watch on, the watch measures heart rate and active energy whichever device you start from • The "Start Kegel Workout" action in Shortcuts starts from a Home Screen icon, Back Tap or Siri • Run a shortcut after a completed set ā–  And more • Light and dark themes, in-app language choice (ķ•œźµ­ģ–“ Ā· English Ā· ę—„ęœ¬čŖž) • No account needed ā–  Works well with Haru Danim, a time and habit tracker from the same developer: workouts Keging saves to Apple Health count toward your Haru Danim exercise quests automatically. ā–  Privacy Keging collects no personal data. Every record stays on your iPhone and Apple Watch and is never sent to any server. Apple Health entries are written only if you allow it.
