SetPulse turns your whole screen into a workout signal: green for work, red for rest, amber for get-ready, and oversized digits you can read from across the gym. Build interval presets for HIIT, Tabata, boxing rounds, circuits, calisthenics, mobility, or yoga holds. Name each segment, choose work and rest timing, set your round count, and start from the presets list with one tap. During a workout, SetPulse keeps the session hands free. The timer stays anchored to wall-clock time, announces segment names aloud, plays clear interval cues, vibrates at boundaries when enabled, and ducks your music instead of stopping it. Turn on Mirror mode to watch your form in a live front-camera view behind the timer, then record the whole session ā screen and sound ā and save it to your Photos to review your reps later. No account is required. No subscription is required. The app opens straight to the timer, with saved presets and settings stored on the device. Key features: - Mirror mode: a live front-camera view so you can check your form mid-set. - One-tap screen recording saved to your Photos. - Full-screen work, rest, prep, paused, and finished states. - Large tabular countdown digits and round readout. - Unlimited local presets with one-tap start. - Segment editor with named intervals, cycles, cooldown, reorder, and live duration. - Voice announcements, audio cues, vibration, light and dark themes, and stay-awake.
