Gript runs natively on Apple Watch, so you can leave your phone in the locker: start workouts, log every set, run the rest timer, and track heart rate and calories — all from your wrist.
Install the watch app#
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Scroll to Available Apps and tap Install next to Gript. If automatic app installation is enabled, Gript may already be on your watch.
- Open Gript on your iPhone once, signed in — that's all the setup there is.
Start a workout from your wrist#
- Quick Start — begins an empty workout; add exercises as you go.
- Routines — tap a routine to preview its exercises and sets, then start it. Planned weights and reps come pre-filled, exactly like on the iPhone.
Starting a workout on the watch also starts it on your iPhone (and its Live Activity), and the other way around — an active phone workout appears on the watch automatically, ready to continue from either device.
During the workout#
The workout screen shows elapsed time, live heart rate, and calories at the top, with every exercise and set below. Gript runs a real watchOS workout session, so your activity rings get credit and heart rate is recorded — see logging sets on Apple Watch for the full logging flow.
Add the complication#
Add Gript to your watch face to start workouts in one tap. During a workout, the complication and Smart Stack widget show your elapsed time and set progress; when idle they are a launcher for the app.
Watch settings#
In the watch app, the gear icon on the start screen has watch-specific options: rest-timer haptics, whether the next set opens automatically after completing one, and your iPhone connection status. Everything else — units, rest durations, effort tracking — follows your iPhone settings.
