Intrvl 2.6 focuses on one outcome: you can see your training more clearly, across both weights and interval sessions, and enjoy using the timer more while you train.
If you use Intrvl for Tabata or HIIT, this release turns those sessions into real training history. If you live in WeightBook, the dashboard now does a better job of reflecting your selected time period and your actual habits.
A 14-day trial, because habits take longer than a week
Consistency doesn't click in 7 days. Most people need longer than a week to get through the awkward phase, find a routine that fits their schedule, and see enough reps of the habit to make it stick.
Intrvl now gives new users a 14-day free trial, so you get enough time to train through weekdays and weekends, try the timer in real sessions, and see your history build up.
If you already started a trial and haven't upgraded yet, we've reset yours to a fresh 14 days, so you can get the full run at it.
Interval workouts are now part of your training history
Before 2.6, an interval workout could feel like a "timer session". In 2.6, your interval workouts are tracked and saved automatically, so they sit alongside your weights sessions as first-class history.
- Automatic tracking: Tabata and HIIT workouts save to your history without extra steps.
- Category tagging: Mark workouts as Cardio or Weights.
- Sharing: Share completed workouts with a clean, formatted summary.
- Unified recent activity: Your dashboard shows weights sessions and interval workouts together, in time order.
A dashboard that better matches the period you selected
The dashboard now puts more emphasis on "What did I do in the last 7, 30, or 90 days?", rather than mixing global stats with a period view.
Workout and rest history timeline
There's a new timeline card that makes your pattern obvious at a glance.
- 7–30 days: Grouped into week clusters so you can spot consistency and gaps quickly.
- 90 days: A higher-level monthly summary keeps the view readable.
Better context for "sets to failure"
Sets to failure now show count and percentage, so you can tell whether failure work was a small slice of your training or a meaningful chunk of your volume.
Timer activity insights
If rest timing matters to your training, the dashboard now does a better job of showing it. You can see how often you timed rests, how often you didn't, and what share of your sets used timed intervals.
Recent activity reads more naturally
Recent activity now uses relative time, so it reads like "2 hours ago" or "1 day ago", which is easier to scan than clock times.
Workout timer redesign (same timer, more engaging experience)
The workout timer has a new visual design built around clarity during work/rest transitions and better phase feedback.
- Liquid glass UI: Frosted glass styling with subtle depth and dimension.
- Circular progress ring: Clear progress feedback with animated glow.
- Waveform animation: Distinct motion for work and rest phases.
- Theme-aware phase colours: Phase glow colours match your theme across the workout.
- Cleaner controls and metrics: Buttons and stats are easier to read mid-workout.
This is a design upgrade, not a behaviour change. Your workouts run the same way, with better visuals while you're in the middle of them.
iCloud data protection prompts (to reduce accidental data loss)
Intrvl can run entirely locally, and that's useful. It also creates a risk: if you delete the app without iCloud sync or a backup, you can lose your training history.
2.6 adds clearer "local-only" messaging and nudges you towards a backup when it matters.
- First launch warning when there's no iCloud account connected.
- Periodic reminders if it's been a long time since your last backup and iCloud isn't available.
- Clear banner in Data Management so you can see your data protection status at a glance.
Rating prompt that's easier to understand (and easier to dismiss)
The rating prompt now has clearer choices and better behaviour.
- Shows a full 5-star layout.
- Adds a Remind me later option, so you can defer without permanently disabling prompts.
- Improves the fallback flow if iOS doesn't show the native prompt.
If you are enjoying the app it means a lot to us if you leave a review. Feedback is a gift!
Smaller fixes and reliability improvements
2.6 also includes a set of smaller improvements that add up in day-to-day use.
- Workload analytics fixes for "double volume" handling and distance-based work like loaded carries.
- More accurate iCloud status display when a device isn't connected.
- Performance and polish improvements across scrolling, widgets, and common flows.
