Rep goals are simple. Pacing them is annoying.
"125 reps in 20 minutes" sounds simple until you're five minutes in, breathing hard, trying to remember if you're ahead, behind, or about to burn out. Most interval timers make you decide the rounds and timing yourself. Workrate starts with the target and builds the structure for you.
Stuck at the same number? Keep the target and change how you pace it. Workrate gives you several ways to pace the same goal, so you can try a different one next session.

- You start too fast and crash halfway through
- You keep checking the clock instead of moving
- You lose track of whether you're ahead or behind pace
- You finish with no useful record of how it went
- You want to compare sessions without overcomplicating it
How Workrate works
01
Set the target
Enter a rep goal, a time budget and a movement tag, like 125 burpees in 20 minutes.
02
Pick a strategy
Choose a pacing plan such as Every minute, Steady pace or Sets. Swipe to compare them, then start.
03
Follow the cues
Each round has its own rep target. Audio cues and haptics call each round, so you can stop watching the clock.
04
See your score
Compare the plan with the reps you actually did, round by round.
05
Tag & trackPro
Tag each session by movement and watch your total reps trend over time, coloured by the strategy you used.

Workrate is on the App Store now, and the Android version is in closed testing. Google needs testers to stay in for 14 days before it can go public on Google Play.

A burpee timer that starts from your target
A regular burpee interval timer counts work and rest, and leaves the pacing math to you. Workrate works the other way round. You tell it the reps and the time, and it builds the rounds, then calls each one with audio cues and haptics. It paces any movement you count in reps, so it works for pushups, swings and squats as well as burpees. 300 kettlebell swings in 15 minutes? That's 20 every minute, or one every 3 seconds.
Built for people who already know the work
Workrate doesn't tell you what exercise to do. It doesn't prescribe programs, judge your form, or decide whether your goal is realistic. It's for self-directed training where you already know the target and just need a better way to structure the session.
Following the Busy Dad Program?
Workrate is built for exactly that kind of session: a rep target, a clock, and nobody telling you what to do. I'm Hlynur, a dad of three kids aged 6, 3 and 1. I did the program last year, fell off it, and built Workrate to help me get back on track.
