Frequently asked questions
Getting started
What is AI WOD Timer?+
An iOS app that turns a written workout into a ready-to-run timer. Snap a photo of the whiteboard, paste the workout, or type it — the AI sets up the right timer format automatically.
Is it free?+
Yes — basic manual timers are free. AI workout generation and AI-powered workout parsing are paid features.
Do I need an account?+
You can build and run manual timers without an account. A paid plan is required for AI workout generation and AI-powered workout parsing.
Which devices are supported?+
AI WOD Timer is currently available for iPhone and iPad.
Parsing workouts
What kinds of workouts can it understand?+
AMRAP, EMOM, For Time, Tabata, intervals, work/rest splits, plain stopwatch, and custom formats — including benchmark WODs, death-by ladders and cluster sets.
Can it read my gym's whiteboard?+
Yes — take a photo and the app extracts the workout with OCR before parsing it. Screenshots of Instagram posts or coach messages work too.
What if the AI gets it wrong?+
Every parse shows a preview first — edit rounds, times, or movements before starting.
Does parsing need an internet connection?+
Parsing uses our AI service, so yes; but saved workouts and timers run fully offline.
Using the timer
Does the timer keep running if I lock my phone or switch apps?+
Yes. The timer runs in the background with audio cues, and shows live progress on your Lock Screen / Dynamic Island via Live Activities.
Can I pause or skip rounds?+
Yes — pause, resume, and stop from the timer screen or Lock Screen.
Video & saved timers
Can I record my workout?+
Yes — record video with the timer running, review it, and share it.
Can I save a timer for later?+
Yes — build and save manual timers, then return to the workouts you run most.
Account & data
How do I delete my account and data?+
Open the app's menu → Account → Close account. All your workout data is permanently deleted from our servers within 30 days. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Does it work offline?+
Timers, saved workouts and history all work offline; new AI parses and sync need a connection.
