GripTempoStart a session on Apple Watch
- Open GripTempo on Apple Watch and read the introduction. Confirm that the exercise plan is suitable for you.
- Select the first hand. Start training and allow workout access when requested.
- Start each set manually. The reference plan uses four 2-minute holds, 1-minute rests between sets, and 5 seconds of preparation.
- Follow the timer and haptic stage cues. Pause or stop if needed. Use your own suitable intensity; the watch does not measure force.
Why does Apple Watch require workout access?
A formal session uses Apple Health workout APIs for background timing. You can choose whether to save the workout to Apple Health. If permission is unavailable, you can still view records and try the foreground demo. Check GripTempo’s workout permissions in Apple Health on your paired iPhone, then return to the app.
Apple Watch display and interruptions
The demo pauses when it leaves the foreground. Formal sessions use a workout session, but system interruptions, another workout, power conditions or a long execution gap can interrupt timing. Follow the interruption message, release and rest, and confirm the next action. Unconfirmed elapsed time is not credited as completed training.
I did not feel a reminder
Check that haptic alerts are enabled and that the watch fits properly. The app requests stage cues, but their perception depends on watch settings and fit. If a cue is missed, check the visible stage and use Pause when needed. The app does not detect whether you have actually released the gripper.
Training records and Apple Health
Session history is local. Enable Save to Apple Health before a session if you want a Health copy. A save result may be shown separately from local saving. Deleting a local session does not remove a Health copy. Manage the latter in Apple Health. There is no account, server sync or app cloud restore.
Reminders and language
Enable optional training-day reminders in Settings and allow notifications. Dates and reminders follow your local time settings. The app follows the watch’s system language, with English as fallback. It includes English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic and Hindi.
Contact support
Include “GripTempo support”, your iPhone or Watch model, iOS or watchOS version, app version, and a short description of what happened. Avoid including health information that is not needed to explain the issue.

Using iPhone independently
iPhone training works without a Watch and without Health permission. Read the introduction, confirm suitability and start each set manually. The screen stays awake during training; locking the phone, switching apps or an audio interruption pauses the timer and cues. Return and explicitly resume when ready. Voice cues use media volume, including in silent mode. Choose a voice language or preview it in Settings.
To view existing health measurements, open Records → Health trends → Connect Apple Health, then choose which types to share. Use 30 days, 90 days, six months or one year and a source filter. Missing data is not estimated. Charts display recorded measurements, not an effect of training. To save a workout, enable Save to Apple Health before training; this is separate from reading trends.
iPhone and Watch store their records and settings separately. There is no cross-device record sync. The iPhone and Watch interfaces and iPhone voice cues support 13 languages: English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic and Hindi. Voice language can be selected independently of the interface. Unsupported interface languages fall back to English.
7-day trial, one-time unlock and restore
GripTempo is free to download. The seven-day free trial begins with the first App Store download and does not require a separate trial purchase. After it ends, a one-time purchase at the displayed price permanently unlocks regular training. There is no subscription or automatic billing. Records and the short demo remain available. Activation and Restore Purchases require an App Store connection; training works offline afterward. Open Settings → Purchase & lifetime access → Restore purchases on either device with the same Apple Account. Training records remain separate on each device even though access is shared.
