Reptime

Workout Timer & Tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch

Getting Started

This guide takes you from install to your first workout — with reliable halfway and 5-second cues — on iPhone and Apple Watch.

1. Requirements

2. Install & Pair

3. First Run Permissions

Change these later in iOS Settings → Notifications and Health → Data Access & Devices.

4. Create Your First Routine

1
Open the app → Routines → tap + New.
2
Add segments: Timed (e.g., Plank 60s, 3 rounds) or Reps & Weight (e.g., Bench Press 3×8 @ 40 kg).
3
Give it a name → Save.

5. Voice Cues & Background Alerts

Go to Routines → ⚙️ Settings → Voice Cues:

Tap Test voice to preview at your current volume.

6. Start a Workout (iPhone)

In Routines, tap the ▶︎ Play button on a routine. The Run screen shows the current segment, countdown, and round. Controls: Start / Pause / Next.

7. Start a Workout (Apple Watch)

Open the app on your Watch and start the routine. The Watch mirrors progress and sends milestones to your iPhone. Gentle haptics on Watch; iPhone handles voice and banners.

8. Managing Health Workouts

Settings → Health Workouts shows workouts created by this app. Reload, Delete individual, or Delete All. This does not remove your Routines — only Health logs.

9. Troubleshooting

No voice, but notifications appear

Ensure Voice Cues are ON, raise volume slider, check iPhone is not on Silent, and confirm Bluetooth headphones are the active output.

Halfway / 5-second alerts missed in background

Ensure Notifications are allowed. Open the app at least once after install. If starting from Watch, keep Bluetooth on.

Watch app didn't install

Open Watch app on iPhone → My Watch → scroll to Reptime → Install. Enable Automatic App Install.

Features

🎯 Custom Routines

Build unlimited routines with timed or reps & weight segments. Save defaults, reorder, duplicate, and edit on the fly.

⏱ Smart Timing

Automatic halfway and last 5 seconds cues. Optional auto-start moves you through segments without tapping. Clear countdown timers with round tracking (e.g., "Round 2 of 3").

🔊 Voice Cues + Music Friendly

Spoken prompts mix with Spotify/Apple Music. Adjustable voice volume independent of music. Choose whether music ducks during cues or stays untouched. Background-ready: cues work with the screen off.

⌚ Seamless iPhone + Watch

Start on iPhone or Watch — progress syncs automatically. Haptics on Watch, banners + voice on iPhone. Reliable fallback sync if the Watch is briefly unreachable.

❤️ Health Integration

Save completed workouts directly to Apple Health. Manage logged workouts from inside the app. Only Workouts access is requested.

🔒 Privacy First

All routines and stats stored locally on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no external servers. Full control over HealthKit permissions.

How to Use

Create a Routine

Tap + New in the Routines list. Add segments — Timed or Reps & Weight. Name it and Save. The app remembers your last defaults to speed up adding similar exercises.

Adjust Settings

Go to ⚙️ Settings: toggle Voice Cues ON, set Voice Volume, choose Duck Music, and enable Auto-Start Timed Exercises. Tap Test Voice to hear a sample.

During a Workout

Timer View shows remaining time, round number, and current exercise. Controls: Start/Pause, Next Segment, Done. You'll hear "Halfway" at the midpoint and 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 at the end of each timed segment — over your music.

iPhone + Watch Sync

Start on either device — progress syncs via Bluetooth. If the Watch briefly loses connection, the iPhone queues updates and resends when available.

FAQ

Setup

Do I need an Apple Watch?

Routines & Workouts

Can I create multiple routines?
