Focus on your workout, not the clock. SetFlow Pulse guides you through exercise and rest intervals with a clear timer and voice cues, so you can spend less time checking the screen. BUILD YOUR OWN SESSIONS Set exercise time, rest time, the number of exercises and sets, and the break between sets. Save routines for your next session, whether you train at home or at the gym. FOLLOW THE TIMER AND VOICE CUES See your current interval and where you are in the session. Voice cues help you follow the workout, with pause and resume controls when you need a break. KEEP YOUR TRAINING HISTORY Review completed sessions, check their duration, and add notes about how each workout felt. MAKE IT YOURS Choose a color theme and select the interface and voice languages separately. English, Polish, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are available. MORE WITH PRO An in-app purchase unlocks unlimited saved workouts and access to training history, removes ads, and lets workouts continue with the screen off. For background audio, choose whether other audio stays at its usual volume or is lowered for the active workout session. Set your intervals, start the timer, and get moving.

FitNote helps you keep everyday weight management clear and organized. Log meals, calories, macronutrients, weight, water, and exercise in one place, then review your daily progress and trends without setting up an account. Food logging is quick and flexible. Choose from the bundled local food databases where available, enter the grams you ate, or add your own custom foods for meals you repeat often. The app estimates calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, sugar, and sodium for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Weight tracking is built around steady context, not one-day noise. Save weight records, view BMI, compare your current weight with your target, and follow trend charts over time. Water and exercise logs are part of the same daily view. Set a cup size and daily water goal, record workouts with duration and estimated calories burned, and optionally read today's active energy from Apple Health after you grant permission.
