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.
