Connect once, then control speed and incline, watch your live stats, and let Volt automatically adjust your pace for you β all while every workout is saved straight to Apple Health. Works with any treadmill that supports the Bluetooth FTMS (Fitness Machine Service) standard. LIVE TREADMILL CONTROL - Start, pause, resume, and stop your treadmill directly from your phone - Adjust speed and incline in real time, no need to touch the console - See live speed, distance, incline, elapsed time, and calories at a glance - Safety-first pairing: nearby treadmills are ranked by signal strength, and Volt warns you if a machine looks like it's already in use before you connect SMART WORKOUT MODES - Free Run β full manual control, your pace, your rules - Heart Rate Cruise Control β set a target heart rate and Volt automatically raises or lowers treadmill speed to keep you in your zone - HIIT Intervals β automated sprint/walk intervals with treadmill speed changes handled for you, so you can focus on the effort APPLE WATCH COMPANION - Mirrors your live speed, distance, incline, and heart rate to your wrist - Start and stop workouts from either device β they stay in sync - Optional haptic feedback for pace changes and interval transitions - Built for Always-On Display, so your stats stay sharp and readable without draining your battery APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION - Every completed workout is saved to Health automatically β duration, distance, calories, and heart rate - Works whether or not you're wearing your Apple Watch: Volt saves the workout from your phone if your watch isn't paired for the session - Detailed per-second telemetry means your workout history shows real speed and heart-rate charts, not just a summary DYNAMIC ISLAND & LIVE ACTIVITY - Track your run from your iPhone's Lock Screen or the Dynamic Island without opening the app - Live speed, distance, and elapsed time, updated as you move WORKOUT HISTORY - Every past workout in one place, with distance, duration, calories, and average pace - Tap into any workout for a full speed, incline, and heart-rate breakdown over time MADE FOR RUNNERS AND WALKERS - Personalize calorie estimates with your own body weight - Available in English and Hungarian - A clean, distraction-free dashboard designed to be read at a glance, whether you're sprinting or walking the dog on your $200 basement treadmill Volt doesn't try to be a full fitness platform β it does one thing well: make your Bluetooth treadmill smarter, safer to control, and fully connected to the Health app you already use.
