Support

Have a question or found a bug? Check the FAQ below or reach out directly.

Is GymPulseTimer really free?

Yes! The free version includes one custom preset (limited to 1 Set), the big timer ring, pause/resume/restart, Live Activities, and a Home Screen widget. Pro unlocks unlimited presets and Sets, plus all audio and voice features for a one-time purchase.

Does the timer work on the Lock Screen?

Absolutely. GymPulseTimer uses iOS Live Activities to display your countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island so you never miss a phase transition.

What audio cues does Pro include?

Pro adds beep cues on every transition, voice prompts for "Work", "Rest", and "Complete", plus a 3-2-1 countdown before each phase change.

Is there a subscription?

No. GymPulse Pro is a one-time purchase — pay once and you own it forever. No recurring charges, no ads.

Does the app collect my data?

GymPulseTimer collects zero personal data. Anonymous analytics are handled by TelemetryDeck (no PII, fully GDPR/CCPA compliant). See our Privacy Policy for details.

Does GymPulseTimer work on Apple Watch?

Yes! Starting with version 1.3, GymPulseTimer includes a companion Apple Watch app. It features a phase-colored timer ring, haptic feedback on transitions, HealthKit tracking (heart rate & calories), preset sync from iPhone, and Always-On Display support. Requires watchOS 10 or later.

Do I need my iPhone to use the Watch app?

No. After your presets sync from iPhone, the Apple Watch app works completely independently — leave your phone in the locker and run your workout from your wrist.

Which devices are supported?

GymPulseTimer requires iOS 17.0 or later. The Apple Watch companion app requires watchOS 10 or later. Live Activities and Dynamic Island features require compatible hardware.
