The workout app that keeps you on pace.
Calm audio paces every rep, set, and rest over the podcast or music already playing. No counting, no clock-watching, nothing else to manage.
A guided workout you can follow with your eyes closed
WorkoutPacer is a follow-along coach, not a stopwatch. Every rep of a guided pushup workout is paced out loud, so the phone can lie face-down on the floor while you work.
01
Press start
Start the suggested workout or choose from six movement groups. WorkoutPacer announces the movements, reps, and duration before you begin.
02
Obey the beat
Two soft tones guide each rep: down… up. A calm voice marks the milestones. No screen required; the pace is the coaching.
03
Rest on the clock
WorkoutPacer counts down each rest, cues the next set, and logs the finished workout.
Your podcast keeps playing
Most workout timers lower your audio or stop it altogether. WorkoutPacer is built to keep your music playing. Short, soft cues play over whatever you are listening to, then get out of the way. No referee whistle. Tones you could stand nine sets in a row.
Cues are scheduled on the audio clock and tested to under 50 ms of drift across ten minutes.
A workout streak that forgives
Your first workout starts you with one rest pass. Every 7 active days replenishes it. Miss a day, and WorkoutPacer uses one to protect your streak. Training 4 days a week? Planned rest never breaks the chain. Traveling or ill? Pause it deliberately. If the streak ends, WorkoutPacer records what matters: “you showed up 42 days.”
Point to a day, tap it, or use the arrow keys to see the detail.
Watch each milestone fill up
No trophies or cartoons. Each milestone number fills its ring as you get closer, from your first session to 100,000 lifetime reps.
Any workout in three taps
Six movement groups, four difficulty tiers, and workouts from 5 to 20 minutes. WorkoutPacer builds a short workout from your choices, and the preview shows the movements, duration, and reps you will actually do.

Questions, answered
Does WorkoutPacer work with my podcast or music?
WorkoutPacer uses short, soft cues and a calm voice over whatever is already playing, without pausing it. This is built into the native app, not buried in a setting.
Do I need an account?
No. Workouts, streaks, and stats work anonymously and offline in your browser. A free account adds optional backup and sync across devices. You can always work out without signing in.
Is WorkoutPacer on the App Store?
Not yet. WorkoutPacer runs in any modern browser today, on your phone or desktop. Native test builds can be installed directly on a registered iPhone before the public App Store release. The page will show the App Store link as soon as it is available.
What happens if I miss a day?
Your first workout gives you one rest pass. Every 7 active days adds another, up to 2. If you miss a day, WorkoutPacer uses one automatically to protect your streak. Planned rest in a days-per-week goal is free, and you can pause for illness or travel. If a streak ends, WorkoutPacer simply records how many days you showed up.
What does the Build to 50 program promise?
Eighteen short adaptive sessions build toward 50 total pushups across paced sets in one workout, not 50 consecutive reps. It advances when you are ready and steps back when you are not. Progress is measured in completed sessions, not fixed weeks.
Do I need equipment for a home workout?
Most workouts need no equipment. Pushups, situps, squats, and burpees use bodyweight. Pullups need a bar and curls need dumbbells; WorkoutPacer labels both before you start. The daily challenge never requires equipment.
What is pushup cadence training?
Cadence training uses a fixed tempo for each rep. WorkoutPacer defaults to 2 seconds down and 1.5 seconds up, and you can adjust it by movement or routine. Research supports a broad tempo range. The benefit is a steady, controlled rep you do not have to count; no single tempo is magic.
What does the daily workout challenge look like?
The daily challenge is an optional, deliberately extreme workout. Everyone gets the same challenge, and it changes at local midnight. Too big for today? The “in the time you have” version uses the same movements, and every length counts.
