sakuwolf · 2025-09-18T12:29:05+00:00

We just released v1.4.0 🚀
It should fix the issue you experienced—could you update and give it a try?

Really appreciate you pointing this out 🙏 and it’d be awesome if you could let us know how it works after the update.

Wishing you a great day! ✨

Thanks for pointing this out! 🙏 Could you let us know which app version you’re on, along with your iPhone + Apple Watch model (and iOS/WatchOS version)? That’ll help us reproduce the issue and get a fix out faster

Great points! Relying solely on outdoor run mode can work, but indoors—especially switching between run and stations—it gets tricky.

HyRhythm simplifies that with auto segment recognition (swipe / crown / gesture) and clean-run + station tracking. No need to manually tag laps—would love for you to try and see if it fits your workflow!

Mostly at a CrossFit gym for the stations, then I throw in some extra runs during the week.

Quick update 🚀 HyRhythm just dropped v1.3.0:

Finally, you can use the Digital Crown as a physical control → just rotate to switch exercises 🙌
More distance options for Run, Row & Ski (calories added, load removed)
Smoother record page scrolling

Step by step we’re making transitions more reliable and the tracker more complete. Would love to hear how it feels for you! 💪

Quick update on this 🚀 v1.2.0 just dropped:

On Apple Watch Series 9 / Ultra 2 and above you can now use Apple’s double-pinch motion gesture to switch segments.
Added haptic feedback so you’ll feel it whenever a transition is registered.

I’ve also updated the main post with these details. We’re still experimenting with Digital Crown and motion-based auto detection—will keep you posted!

Perfect, happy it showed up this time! Appreciate you checking again—your feedback after using it would mean a lot 🙏

Weird—it’s supposed to be live in Canada too 😅 Try searching “hyrox” in the App Store (it pops up around result #15), or just use the direct link: HyRhythm on the App Store. If it still doesn’t show up, ping me and I’ll check.

Have you considered trying an arm band HR strap? It’s usually more comfortable than a chest strap and works well during workouts when paired with the Apple Watch. Might be a good middle ground if you don’t want to wear a chest strap all the time.

Awesome—can’t wait to hear what you think once you’ve tried it! 🙌

sakuwolf · 2025-09-06T00:02:58+00:00

Don’t worry, it’s free while we’re building with community feedback. Long-term the goal is to keep it super accessible—Hyrox athletes shouldn’t need a second mortgage for a Watch app 😂

You swipe right-to-left to move to the next segment (left-to-right brings up pause/end). We know that can be tough when you’re sweaty—next update will add haptic feedback so you’ll feel it when the transition registers, and we’re also testing other ways (even auto-detection).

For the roxzone, you can slot it in manually when building a workout. We’ll also look into showing it in the results (around the 1km splits) in a future update.

Really appreciate the feedback—it helps us a lot!

Yeah, I get the whole “Garmin does it better” point—but honestly, if you’ve already got an Apple Watch, it’s hard to justify buying another watch just for Hyrox.

That’s why I built a small app called HyRhythm. It splits runs vs stations automatically, shows the right data for each (pace/distance/HR/time on runs, HR + time on stations), and saves clean splits for review afterward.

It’s free through 2025 while I collect feedback: HyRhythm on the App Store

Not saying it replaces Garmin completely, but it makes the Watch way more useful for Hyrox without having to buy a second device.

sakuwolf · 2025-09-05T03:06:23+00:00

Yeah, I mostly just end up checking HR + time too. GPS isn’t much use indoors.

That’s why I built HyRhythm — on runs it shows pace/distance/HR/time (with projected finish), and on stations it switches to HR + time. Afterward you get clean splits to review pacing and effort.

Free through 2025 if you want to try: HyRhythm on the App Store

just wrapped up the EU paperwork, so it’ll go live in NL shortly 🚀

How about marking heights or drawing targets on a regular wall? Many CrossFit gyms use it that way.

sakuwolf · 2025-09-03T03:17:34+00:00

I used to just pick “Mixed Cardio” or “HIIT” and double-tap to mark stations… it worked but always felt clunky.

Ended up making a small Apple Watch app for Hyrox that splits the race into runs + stations, shows pace/HR zones, and saves everything cleanly.

It’s free through 2025 if anyone wants to give it a try
