Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started with ValenTime?

Open the app on your iPhone. You will see your saved workouts (including the default Donna-mite Circuit). Tap any workout to open the timeline preview, and then tap start to launch the timer session.

How do I create a custom workout?

Tap + Create New Workout on the home screen. You can configure station names, sets, exercise duration, rest periods, and audio cues using simple steppers. All custom workouts are saved to your device.

What is Superset Mode?

Superset mode lets you pair two exercises within a single station (e.g., 3 sets each for a total of 6 sets per station) with a customizable transition cue between the exercise halves.

Can I play music in the background?

Yes. ValenTime works alongside Spotify, Apple Music, and other music players. When a workout is active, background music will briefly duck (lower in volume) when an audio cue or station announcement plays, then return to normal volume. Make sure your phone volume is turned up.

Does ValenTime work with Bluetooth speakers?

Yes. Audio cues and text-to-speech cues route to whatever output is active, including connected Bluetooth A2DP gym speakers, AirPlay devices, or headphones.

Will the timer keep running if I lock my screen?

Yes. The timer engine uses wall-clock deadlines to stay accurate. Background audio modes ensure whistles and speech cues trigger on schedule even when your device is backgrounded or locked.

How do Live Activities work?

During a workout, the countdown, current phase, exercise name, and set count will show up on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island (on supported iPhones) so you can track progress from a distance.

Is my workout data kept private?

Absolutely. We do not require an account, require no sign-in, and do not connect to the cloud. All workout programs, station configurations, and timing details are stored locally on your device. See our Privacy Policy for more details.
