The problem
You planned 90 seconds.
You stood up eight minutes later.
You re-racked the bar, sat down and picked up your phone. That is the workout you actually did. Not the one you planned.

How it works
Nothing to tap
between sets.
Most timers need you to start them. You forget, because you are under a bar when it matters. GymFocus does not ask.
- Rest limit1:30
Set your limit.
Anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. Every rest is measured against it, so an overrun stays an overrun.
Lock your phone. Lift.
Screen off means you are doing a set. Nothing to press, nothing to remember. Your phone can stay face down on the bench.
Unlock. Rest is already counting.
Hit the limit and GymFocus calls you back. Heavy set and you genuinely need longer? One tap adds 50%, once per rest.
Modes
Three ways
to track it.
Pick the one that fits how you train. Switch any time before a workout.
Lock your phone and you are doing a set.
Unlock it and the rest starts. Zero taps for the whole workout. It works with notifications alone, no extra permissions.
- Starts the rest on unlock
- Keeps timing with the screen off
- No optional permissions
For people who keep the screen on.
Music, video, workout notes. A floating capsule sits on top of any app and shows your rest. One tap per set.
- Floating timer over any app
- One tap per set
- Asks to display over other apps
Notices the drift from resting into scrolling.
Smart mode looks at how the phone is held and what kind of app is in front, scores the distraction and reacts. All of it is evaluated on your phone, in memory.
- Distraction scoring on the device
- Reacts when rest turns into scrolling
- Asks for usage access
Alerts
Decide how hard
it pushes.
Three voices.
Short signals for training with music in your ears, an upbeat coach, or a drill sergeant with no patience for your sixth minute.

+50%. Once.
Heavy set? One tap extends the rest by half. Once per rest, so it stays an exception instead of a habit.
Reaches you in any app.
The alert does not wait for you to come back to GymFocus. It finds you wherever the rest went.

What it is not
A rest timer.
That is the whole product.
GymFocus does not know what you are lifting and never asks, because your phone is face down on a bench while you lift. It takes rest seriously and leaves the rest of your training to you.
It does
- Time every rest between sets
- Call you back at your limit
- Show where the time went
- Count a streak of focused workouts
It does not
- Log exercises or count reps
- Prescribe a training plan
- Ask you to create an account
- Block your other apps

FAQ
Before your next set.
Yes. The free plan includes the rest timer, alerts, rest extensions, Screen detection and Overlay modes, the post-workout summary, four achievements and your last seven workouts. It shows ads. Pro adds Smart mode, full workout analysis, weekly and monthly stats, unlimited history and all achievements, and removes ads.
No. In Screen detection mode, locking and unlocking the phone is all it takes. The timer keeps running in the background with the screen off, and the alert reaches you in whatever app you are in.
Screen detection works with notifications alone. Overlay mode asks to display over other apps, and Smart mode asks for usage access. Each permission is requested only when you switch on the feature that needs it.
One tap adds 50% to the rest you are in. You get it once per rest, so it stays an exception instead of becoming a habit.
The app is available in English and Polish. Voice cues are in English.
Not yet. GymFocus is built for Android 8.0 and later.
