The workout screen

The workout screen is something you read and tap while you’re tired, between sets. Two things exist for that.

Rest timer

A timer for the rest between sets sits pinned to the top of the workout screen. Scroll through your exercises all you want — it stays in view.

Turn it on or off under Settings → Rest Timer.

Starting it

• Tap a preset — 1:00 / 1:30 / 2:00 / 3:00 — to start
• The last length you picked becomes the default from then on
• By default it starts the moment you log a set (Add Set, or confirming a weight and reps). Prefer to start it yourself? Turn off “Start automatically after logging a set” in Settings

While it counts down

• Tap the countdown to pause or resume
• +30 adds thirty seconds, for when you want a bit more before the next set
• Stop returns it to idle at any time
• Your screen won’t auto-lock while it’s counting down — so the time is still readable when your hands are busy

When it hits zero

• A haptic tells you (no sound)
• It then counts the overtime up — “+1:20” — so a rest that ran long shows up as a number
• After five minutes it returns to idle on its own

The timer holds an end time, not a remaining count. Background the app, lock the screen, come back — the time left is still right.

Text size

Settings → Text Size sets the size of the set display (weight × reps) across seven steps, XS to 3XL. A live preview in Settings shows what you’re picking.

The sizes follow the system text size (Dynamic Type) too, so if you’ve already scaled iOS up, Kitae scales with it.
