About this app

Most gym apps ask you to manage them. Tempus keeps the time for you, so the hour you spend in the gym is an hour of training and not an hour of admin.

Rest runs itself
Finish a set and the rest timer starts on its own. It counts down, alerts you when it is over, and moves you on. No stopwatch to remember, no dead minutes because you checked your phone and lost track. Need longer? Add 10 or 30 seconds with one tap. Need quiet? Mute a single rest without digging through settings.

Know when you will finish
A running estimate tells you how much of the session is left, based on how you train rather than a generic table. Plan the rest of your evening from the gym floor.

See where the hour went
Every session breaks down into work, rest, and standing around. Most people are surprised by the third number. It is the easiest place to find time you did not know you were spending.

Only got 40 minutes? (Tempus Pro)
Say so before you start and Tempus cuts the session to fit, priced in your own seconds per set rather than a generic estimate. Choose whether to lose sets across every movement or drop whole exercises and keep the rest at full sets, and it tells you exactly what it took out. A short session you finish beats a full one you walk out of.

Logging is a glance, not a chore
Your weights carry forward from last time, already filled in. If you did 80 kg for 8 last week, that is what you see this week. Change it only when it changes. Weight, reps, and a note per set, in the seconds you already have between sets.

Start in seconds
No plan today? Start an on-the-fly workout, pick your first exercise, and build it as you go. Keep it as a template afterwards if it worked.

Plan a block, not just a workout
Build a program of any length, up to a year, and put your workouts on its days. Start from a ready-made one rather than from scratch: push pull legs, upper lower, full body, a body part split, 5x5 strength, bodyweight only, or dumbbell only.

Then plan how hard each week trains. Set a percentage per week and the weights follow it, so a deload week is a deload without you rewriting a single set or doing the arithmetic between sets. Fill a whole block from a repeating shape like three weeks up and one down, or set any week by hand.

Built for how people lift
Supersets that rotate between exercises and rest only after the round. Drop sets. Left and right sides tracked separately, with an optional pause between them. Per set targets for weight, reps, and rest.

Your phone stays useful
Leave the app mid rest and the countdown follows you: a floating window over whatever you are doing, or a notification if you have put the phone away. Put this week's plan on your home screen with a widget. Pair a Wear OS watch and keep the clock on your wrist.

Progress you can see
An activity grid of your training year. Weekly volume, sets, and time. Personal records detected automatically and badged, free for everyone.

Works offline, opens instantly
Everything is stored on your device first. No spinner at the gym, no signal required. No account needed either: sign in when you want a backup, not before you can train.

FREE
Custom workouts and timers, session tracking, weight logging, personal records, and your training stats. Up to 5 workouts, 30 exercises, and 2 programs, with the last 4 weeks of history browsable. Anything over the limit is kept, not deleted.

TEMPUS PRO
Trim any workout to the time in front of you. Unlimited workouts, exercises, and programs. Your full history, however far back it goes. Cloud backup, automatic or on demand. Custom alarm sounds. And the insight layer: session versus last time, run versus run on your programs, per exercise bests and estimated one rep max trends, plateau hints, and a shareable monthly recap.

Timers, tracking, and logging are never gated. The workout is always free.
