Rep Timer is the timer you've been looking for! Rep Timer provides a simple, elegant way to time your holds without the need to look at your iPhone or Apple Watch. Just listen for the tone, or the tap on your wrist! And if you do look at it, it's beautiful and clear, providing a clear and elegant visualisation of the hold, and rests. It's awesome! Need to change settings? Easy! Change them on one device, and they are conveniently and automatically shared to your paired device (in either direction!). You can even save those settings as shortcuts. Have multiple workouts? Easy, just create a shortcut for each one! Swipe left and tap! Off you go! And if the app is open on both paired devices, starting your activity on one is automatically synced to the other! Don't have an Apple Watch? No worries, just use Rep Timer on your iPhone, and it will provide audible prompts, or taps (on a wooden table is awesome) to communicate. What you see is what you get. Do you want more? Let us know, and we'll look at adding in more features over time. If you're sick of ad supported apps, in-app purchases, or subscriptions, and you just want a simple timer that does what you need it to do, then Rep Timer is the app you're looking for. Rep Timer records any activities with HealthKit, so they count to your daily totals! I wrote Rep Timer because I've recently been given a set of daily exercises to do at home, and whilst I love Apples Workout app, it was a pain when I'm in a 30 second hold, that I couldn't look at my watch to know when it was time to have a break. Rep Timer lets me go into a hold, and just relax into it. When the tap comes, I know it's time to rest, and I know that Rep Timer will let me know when to start the next hold. I've built Rep Timer for my simple needs, and I'm sure that many people will appreciate a tool that is simple to use without all the fuss and bother of AI and spam generating subscriptions that just want their data. Sometimes when all you have is a nail, a hammer is all you need. Rep Timer doesn't share or collect any data outside what you permit it to store in your own HealthKit on your devices.

Just what I wanted

It’s easy to use and clear. Just what I was looking for. Suggestions: - I’d like if there were three seconds or so before the whole set started so that I can position myself (grab my band or something). - I’d also prefer if there were a few tone options. I’m sensitive to sound and the ding hurts my ears. I’d even take the other tone twice to cue the end of the rep. - It’d be nice if I could name the saved rep settings. Lastly, I’m not sure how to do the other cue method where I can use a wood table. I still think it’s worth the dollar and give it 5 stars. It took me…less than a min(?) to search, install, and start my PT reps with cues.

Thank you for your review, and for your suggestions! I’ve just updated the app with two of your requested features. I hope you like it. I'm not sure quite what you mean regarding the other cue method. If you'd like to email me at support@pkclsoft.com to explain then I can look into that too.Rep Timer was originally a project to help myself as I overcame an injury, so it's really satisfying to know that it is of benefit to others too.

Perfect App for my long boring exercises

I have to do so many reps after my knee injury/ surgery and keeping counts holds and reps was impossible. This is exactly what I needed so I could watch tv or listen to something else while the app did the mindless counting for me and let me know when to switch ... Worth the 99 Pennies for sure.

Thanks for this wonderful feedback. I actually developed the app for my own use in a similar situation. I found it invaluable especially with the Apple Watch tapping me. It’s great to see that it’s helped someone else.

It’s a great little app for keeping up with physical therapy exercises. Appreciate that it doesn’t about you with ads or collect your data. Thanks!

Developer Response
Thank you! I’m really glad it’s helping. It was indeed my own physio exercises that I wrote it for originally so it’s very much tailored to that need.

It’s a rep timer. No more, no less.

I wanted a simple way to track physical therapy exercise. Reps, holds, and rest periods without stopping to restart my timer a bunch of times. Simple is quite a difficult ask these days. This is a great little app, easy to use and sleek to look at. If you need a functional timer that won’t get in your way, this is it. Thank you! My small suggestions, a button to toggle some text to remind me about the swipe right gesture, and to tell me the name and version of the app. The ability to name saved timers and the choice of a few tones would. Not a complaint at all. This app does the job perfectly!

Hi and thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to know that Rep Timer is helpful.I'll definitely look at a way to implement your suggestions; they are all great. It was always meant to be a simple app, so any changes will be done with this in mind as I don't want to clutter it.
