Music, sound and the Lock Screen

Will Setbell stop my music?

No. Setbell's beeps mix over whatever you are playing, so your music or podcast keeps going and is never paused or turned down. If you can't hear the beeps, turn the iPhone's volume up.

Does it keep running when the screen is locked?

Yes. A running workout shows as a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: the phase, the countdown, the round and what comes next, with Pause and Skip. If it doesn't appear, check that Live Activities are allowed in iOS Settings → Setbell.

How do I add the Control Center control?

Swipe down from the top-right corner, tap +, then Add a Control. Search for Setbell and add Start workout or Rest 60 s. Long-press the Start control to pick its workout. The same controls fit on the Lock Screen and the Action button. The guide is also in the app, under Settings → Siri, Control Center and Lock Screen.

Which Siri phrases work?

Try "Start Tabata in Setbell", "Start a rest timer in Setbell", "Pause my workout in Setbell", "Resume my workout in Setbell" and "Skip in Setbell". They work right after install, and you can find them all in the Shortcuts app.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. The timers, the Live Activity, Control Center and Siri all work offline. Only buying or restoring Plus needs a connection.

Setbell Plus

What does Setbell Plus include?

Unlimited saved workouts, circuits, widgets, sound styles and weekly stats. It is a one-time unlock, not a subscription. Everything else in the app is free. The App Store shows the price for your country.

I bought Plus, but it's locked (new iPhone, reinstall).

Go to Settings → Restore Purchases. Make sure the iPhone is signed in to the same Apple Account that bought Plus, and that it's online. After that, Plus works offline.

Does Family Sharing work?

Yes. Plus supports Family Sharing, so one purchase can cover your family group. On a family member's iPhone, open Settings → Restore Purchases while signed in to their own Apple Account. If Plus doesn't appear, check that purchase sharing is turned on in iOS Settings → your name → Family Sharing.

How do I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by Apple. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, and choose the purchase.

Your data and your iPhone

Where are my workouts stored? Can you recover them?

Only on your iPhone. There is no account and no server of ours, so we can't see or recover your workouts. If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, the backup can include them, and restoring that backup brings them back. Read the Privacy Policy.

How do I delete my data?

Use Settings → Delete all data to remove your workouts and history (app preferences stay), or delete the app.

Which devices and languages are supported?

iPhone with iOS 26 or later. The app speaks English, German, Spanish, French and Japanese.

Found a bug, or have an idea?

Tell us. In the app, Settings → Contact support opens an email with the app version filled in. Or write to hello@boring-apps.dev with your iPhone model, iOS version and what happened. A screenshot helps.
