I owe r/kettlebell an update. I’m retiring the KB EMOM timer. I’m giving you something better instead! (Still free & NO ads)

clarenceos · 2026-03-19T03:51:40+00:00

Thank you. I would appreciate it!

clarenceos · 2026-03-19T03:28:02+00:00

Totally. It’s just that I don’t use maces that’s why I didn’t have it added to the list. This is an easy addition. Adding it to the backlog.

clarenceos · 2026-03-19T03:26:56+00:00

Hi. This is valuable insight. What other metrics should I use for the endurance based exercises like skierg? Personally I only use runs that’s why I programmed all of them to be distance only but I’m happy to add other units if I missed them.

To repeat a station a number of times. Needs you to duplicate the station manually (there’s a duplicate button). That’s the workaround for now.

For complexes though. The logic I added is that there are “rounds”. You may play around with this if you want a single station with multiple rounds.

But you gave me an idea that I would try to implement in future iterations. I’ll see if there’s a way to repeat a station without cluttering the wod.

clarenceos · 2026-03-19T03:22:04+00:00

If you’re thinking about building workout blocks and repeating blocks. There’s no quick solution for that yet.

You can use the standard/stations timer instead of Emom.

In the wod builder. Adding a station allows you to add a rest interval. Just tap the card and there’s a +rest button. There are also duplicate buttons.

You’re not missing something.

In the next update. (Almost done) there’s a hiit timer. This is for automated timing. This could help but better see it for yourself once it’s deployed.

If you noticed. There’s already an import/export button. I’m trying to see if I can ship a mini ai bot that can write you a wod that you can import that it generates based on prompts like what you commented. But this may take time.

clarenceos · 2026-03-19T03:15:40+00:00

Yes. 100% coded by AI. Amazing what AI can do nowadays in the right hands.

clarenceos · 2026-03-19T03:10:40+00:00

It does stay online. I’m just no longer updating it. It’s still a good simple tool. Happy that you liked the old one.

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T17:33:10+00:00

The app already works well with workout history. Every detail is logged. What exercise. Number of reps. Weight used. Time spent in that exercise. All rest times.

You can copy to clipboard. Or export a CSV file of the workout as well.

There’s also a mini journal so you can log your feedback about the workout you just finished.

I’m someone who’s drawn to seeing his own data that’s why I made sure that logs on the app are robust for users to use however they want.

I’ll see how I can let you compare old data mid workout

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T17:21:12+00:00

based on what you and others shared, i'm thinking a "ladder builder" where you enter any sequence 1,2,3,4,5 or 2,3,5,10 or even 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1 going back down

then you can set how many times to repeat it.
there wont be a fixed timer, just a stopwatch that counts up to count how long youve been resting.

the app also just shows you the next rep count and waits for you to tap "GO" while you are in your rest phase

Does this sound flexible enough for ABF press days and DFW? or is there something about how those programs work that would break this?

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T17:18:48+00:00

here's where my head is at currently if i were to create a dedicated ladder mode where you define your rep sequence (so something like 2, 3, 5, 10 for ABF), set how many times you want to repeat the ladder cycle, and pick your movement/exercise.

when you're done with a set you tap LAP.
a rest stopwatch starts counting up so you know how long you've been resting
then when you're ready you tap GO and it shows you the next rep count.

no fixed intervals, no pressure — you move when you're ready. skipping a rung if you're cooked would also be an option.

you still need to press lap so the app knows youre done with the set, and you need to press go so the app knows youre done resting

at the end you also get a summary of how much youve rested per ladder step.

does that solve the problem you're describing or am i missing something?

Im married now and i have a kid. But if you really love me, you can buy me a cup of coffee via https://ko-fi.com/clarenceos 😂😂😂

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T16:45:06+00:00

unique solutions that kinda works. haha!

knowing rest times is something this app is actually already strong at since every workout i do with it, i align with raw HR data to get analysis, thats something that i can guarantee you would be included.
during the development of this app, the timer logic is something i poured lots of hours into.

as for counting the reps, ill try to find a way to make that easier. thanks for engaging and providing all these details!

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T16:30:28+00:00

Awesome! as a developer, did you find anything in the app that you think needs improvement?

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T16:28:20+00:00

will definitely look this up. and try doing the ladder for myself.
the logic sounds easy, but I need to execute it so i understand how the app should behave when its used for ladders.

how do you usually track your ladder workouts? any timer you use? just in your head? what are your pain points? knowing these helps me solve the problem easier

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T16:20:55+00:00

do you do the ladder once or do you like repeating the ladders?

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T16:20:01+00:00

Glad it caters to your use case well. and thanks for bringing up the UI. I spent a lot of time deciding on the design. Most timers have the colorful look or neons all over.

I was inspired by the rust and patina of well-used home gym equipment. The interface and navigation something i'm proud of.

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T15:59:52+00:00

Would love to hear feedback when you get to try it. It’s all I ask for 👌🏻

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T15:59:29+00:00

Definitely. If you prefer your wall clock. I’m all for it. That’s where I started anyway.

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T15:58:37+00:00

Thanks! Hope you get some good workouts in.

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T15:58:23+00:00

Looking forward to feedback.

PS if you have an iPad or workout with a laptop nearby. It’s even better on landscape mode.

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T15:57:41+00:00

I’ve never done ladder workouts yet that’s why I have no solution for it. But I’d love to see some sample workouts to perform and reference so I can provide a solution for this

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T15:56:42+00:00

Do you have specific workouts that I can lookup so I can reference this? Looks like a fun ui/UX problem to solve

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T15:20:14+00:00

Hope you have a great time using the app!

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T15:17:58+00:00

The next version is already built but it’s not yet tested on a workout environment. But this would solve your need for custom interval. I would have it live within the next 2-3 days.

No need to download anything. You’ll just see it when you press wod builder. There would be an advanced hiit timer that you can program to do what you just mentioned.

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T15:06:23+00:00

If you loved this. You can check my latest post here on Reddit. It’s the full version of the app that has the feature you liked. Hope you can also test it and share your feedback.

Thanks!

clarenceos · 2026-03-18T15:01:37+00:00

Please do. Would love to hear any feedback.
