The most beautiful functional-fitness timer — and the most dependable. Now on iPad, and on your wrist. Squall is the WOD timer that gets out of your way: readable across the gym, it never hijacks your music, and it never fires a cue while you're paused. Set it up in seconds and trust it completely. Now native on iPad — the same timer, full-screen, with a big landscape gym clock you can read from across the room. EARN YOUR TROPHIES — ACHIEVEMENTS Every session now earns badges — free, and all on your device. Chase 22 across milestones, personal records, streaks, grit, and variety, each climbing a bronze-to-diamond ladder with live progress. Unlock one and a 3D metal shield spins up against a stormy sky — then share it as a card or a short storm video. Tap the trophy in your Log any time. RUN IT FROM YOUR APPLE WATCH Leave your phone in the cubby and run a full workout from your wrist — AMRAP, For Time, EMOM, or Tabata, tuned with the Digital Crown. Haptic and audio cues, a complication to launch straight in, and it all syncs back automatically. HEART RATE & CALORIES, IN APPLE HEALTH Squall saves every session to Apple Health — free. With Apple Watch and Pro, a live session records real heart rate (min / avg / max) and active energy on your results and log. No Watch? It estimates calories from your work, sharpened by an optional weight in Settings. EVERY TIMER YOU TRAIN WITH • AMRAP — as many rounds as possible, with tap-to-log round counting • For Time — count up with an optional cap and lap splits • EMOM — every minute on the minute, including alternating stations • Tabata — classic 20/10 ×8, fully editable with sets and rest • Mix (Pro) — chain any stages of any type into one seamless workout, with a live total and a clear "NEXT UP" YOUR MUSIC STAYS YOURS Squall ducks your audio for a cue, then restores it. Keep Spotify, Apple Music, or a podcast playing the whole session. CUES THAT NEVER LIE Pause and every sound stops — no phantom beeps. Cues are scheduled for sample-accurate timing and keep firing with the screen locked. Beeps, voice cues, or both, with haptics you'll feel anywhere. COACH VOICES Use any installed iOS voice, or Squall's coaches — Ivy and Jon free; Hope, Mark, Elariel, and Jofra with Pro. BUILT TO BE GLANCEABLE Pick a running-screen face: a depleting radial ring, bold stacked numerals, or the split-flap Flipboard — all free. Go Pro for Retro Digital (amber LCD) and Pride. The whole screen shifts color by phase, on iPhone or iPad. LOCK SCREEN & DYNAMIC ISLAND (Pro) A branded Live Activity keeps your time remaining ticking on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — rock-solid even when locked. HANDS-FREE & ACCESSIBLE Control it with Siri — "Start Squall." Full VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion throughout. NO ACCOUNT, EVER No sign-up, no login — Squall works fully offline, and your workouts and logs stay on your device. SQUALL PRO Go ad-free and unlock Mix, premium clock faces, unlimited saved workouts, premium coach voices, the Lock Screen / Dynamic Island Live Activity, and heart-rate & calorie tracking on Apple Watch. Monthly, annual (7-day free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase. The free tier is a genuinely great timer — no nags during a workout. The calm before the storm. Hit GO and the storm breaks. —————————————— SQUALL PRO — SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS • Squall Pro — Monthly: auto-renewing, $2.99/month • Squall Pro — Annual: auto-renewing, $19.99/year, with a 7-day free trial • Squall Pro — Lifetime: one-time purchase, $39.99 Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation.
