Questions

FAQ · PureTimer
Does PureTimer play voice cues in the background?

Yes. PureTimer uses iOS background-audio mode so spoken work and rest cues keep playing while you train, even with the screen locked or another app on top. Tested with Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube playing simultaneously — your music ducks for each cue and resumes immediately.

Is there Apple Watch support?

Not yet. The current focus is bulletproof iPhone background audio and AirPods reliability, which most boxers, runners, and lifters need first. Watch support is on the roadmap once the iPhone experience is fully solid.

Can I import HIIT, Tabata, or boxing presets?

The library ships with curated presets — Tabata, EMOM, Fighter rounds, Sprint 8, Yoga Flow, Pomodoro, and more. You can also build custom presets in seconds: slide work, slide rest, set rounds, save. No subscription, no preset paywall.

Does it work with AirPods while music is playing?

Yes. Spoken cues are mixed through the iOS audio session so your music keeps playing on AirPods, headphones, or your gym Bluetooth speaker. Cues duck the music briefly, then it returns to full volume — no manual pausing required.

Is PureTimer free?

Free on the App Store. No ads, no analytics SDKs, no subscription paywall in front of basic timing. If a paid tier ever ships, the existing preset library and core timer stay free.

Is HealthKit or workout-saving supported?

Sessions can optionally be logged to the Apple Health app as Functional Strength Training or HIIT workouts so they show up in your Activity rings. Permission is asked on first save and can be revoked any time in Settings.
