Rest timer sounds and alerts

Gript can alert you the moment your rest is over, so you are not staring at a countdown between sets.

Turn timer sounds on or off#

  1. During a workout, tap the gear button to open Workout Settings.
  2. Under Timer, toggle Sound When Timer Ends.
The Timer section of Gript Workout Settings with the Sound When Timer Ends toggle
Sound When Timer Ends, in the Timer section of Workout Settings.

Pick a sound#

With the sound on, a Timer Sound row appears beneath the toggle. Choose between Default, Boxing Bell, Chime, Ding, Buzzer, Service Bell, and Gong — each plays once as you select it, so you can audition them on the spot. The same sound is used for the background notification, and a separate Vibrate When Timer Ends toggle sits just below.

When the app is in the background#

If you switch apps or lock your phone mid-rest, Gript sends a "Rest complete" notification when the timer ends. Make sure notifications are allowed: Profile → Push Notifications.

The notification is marked time-sensitive, so it breaks through Focus modes such as Do Not Disturb or Fitness. Long-press it (or swipe down on it) for two actions: +30 s and +1 min add rest without opening the app, and Gript notifies you again when the extended rest is over.

I feel that every single time I open the app there is a new feature. Thanks for making it better every day.
