5-Jun 2026 | Adding some fun into your workouts
Version 2.2.5
This update is all about keeping you focused and on track, whether you’re counting down the seconds between sets or looking for that extra push during a grueling workout.
Audio support is the primary focus this time around, bringing you rock-solid rest timer notifications that break through the noise and a brand new "Split Personality" feature designed to keep things fresh while you lift. Let’s dive in.
Rest Notifications
We’ve all been there: you’re deep into your rest period, lost in a great playlist or a quick scroll through your feed, and before you know it, you’ve been sitting on the bench for five minutes. To help you keep your momentum, we’ve given our rest timer notifications a major upgrade on iOS.
Our rest alerts are now officially Time Sensitive. This is a fancy way of saying that when your rest is up, your phone will make sure you know about it. These notifications will now break through Focus modes, silent switches, and loud music to deliver a gentle nudge right when you need to get back to work.
Because this is a system specific setting, existing users will need to toggle it on manually to start feeling the benefits. Just head over to your iOS Settings > Notifications, find our app, and make sure "Time Sensitive Notifications" is switched on.
Whether you're training in a noisy gym or keeping your phone on Do Not Disturb to stay in the zone, your rest timer will now always have your back. Let’s keep those gains moving!
Split Personality
For a long time, Strongsplit has been your silent partner in the gym, a stone-cold, utilitarian tracker that focused on the data and nothing else. It did its job well, but it lacked a little soul. Today, that silence is going to break in the most chaotic way possible.
Introducing the Split Personality, one of the most ambitious (and slightly unhinged) update yet. It lives in your workout, and sees everything, so it can judge you more than anyone will.
There's over 500 custom voice lines to keep the experience fresh, spanning from genuine encouragement to some truly biting, unhinged commentary. It’s the perfect antidote to those sluggish Monday morning sessions where you need a literal wake-up call.
We know that "tough love" isn't for everyone every day. If the AI gets a little too personal or the mockery starts hitting too close to home, you can easily swap personalities or tone things down in the settings. You’re in control of the chaos.
Beyond the laughs and the burns, this is a massive leap for Strongsplit. This new audio dynamic will be the foundation for some incredible features coming in the future. Soon, your AI partner will be able to give you real-time heart rate warnings if you’re pushing too hard, celebrate your PR alerts the second they happen, and provide tactical training cues right in your ear. We’re moving beyond the screen to make your workout more immersive than ever before.
✈️ Up next
With the new split personality bringing in the text to speech (TTS) audio support, more training related audio cues will be added in the next few updates. In addition, iOS widgets & data import/export are also high priority items for the next few updates.
