The Problem
During timed workouts, I kept losing track of which round I was on. I needed a simple counter on my wrist that I could glance at between sets.
What It Did
Workout Rounds was a straightforward timer and counter for the Pebble watch:
- Set your workout type (time-limited or round-limited)
- Start the timer
- The watch tracks rounds and elapsed time
- Focus on the workout, not the counting
When Pebble Time launched with its colour screen, I updated the app with a redesigned interface and added a countdown timer option.
Technical Details
Built in C for Pebble OS, updated to support the colour Pebble Time. Simple on the surface, but still had to work within the same memory constraints as Health Sync.
The app achieved 1,269 installs. Not huge, but for a simple utility tool on a niche platform, I was pleased with that. The app has been preserved in the Rebble app store.
Why I Built It
I was doing timed workouts and kept losing count of rounds. Built this so I could focus on the workout instead of trying to remember where I was.
