Made to be used without looking

You use Repetta from a couple of metres away, so a lot of it works without reading the screen:

• Voice count. Repetta says each rep aloud, or every tenth, counts you in with 3, 2, 1, calls out a hold every ten seconds and tells you when to switch legs. It lowers your music while it speaks and can play through the silent switch. It's on from the start; switch it off under Settings → Counting & Camera → Voice count.
• On your wrist. With an Apple Watch, every rep is a tap on your wrist, the 3, 2, 1 as well, and reaching your goal is a longer buzz.
• Hands free. Auto start & finish counts you in once you're in position and saves the set when you walk away, so you never touch the phone mid-set. It's on unless you turn it off.
• The screen stays on for as long as a set or a Repetta is running.

When the camera can't follow you

• Manual counting. The hand button on the counter switches from the camera to counting by touch: tap anywhere on the screen for each rep, or use Start and Pause to time a hold. On iPhone, each tap can be confirmed with a vibration (Settings → Counting & Camera → Haptic on each rep).
• Your own range. Auto-calibrate range learns from your first reps how far you move, instead of expecting one textbook depth.

Camera counting expects each exercise in its usual form, with the moving parts of your body in the picture and enough light. If that doesn't match how you move, manual counting always works, and we'd like to hear about it.

Checked before every release

Since October 2026, Apple's accessibility audit runs on every screen of the iPhone app: the tabs, Settings, challenges, the Repetta editor, the counter, a guided Repetta's steps and rests, the first-launch tour and Repetta Unlimited. It runs in light and dark mode, with Increase Contrast off and on, at the standard and the largest text size. What it found was fixed:

• Larger Text. Text wraps instead of being cut off at the largest sizes. The big numbers inside the dials keep their size (34 to 96 points); the same numbers are in the text beside them and read by VoiceOver.
• Contrast. Repetta's green was darkened in light mode to read clearly on white, and labels no longer sit on the background glow.
• Not by colour alone. A challenge's difficulty is a word with a coloured dot, never coloured text alone.
• VoiceOver. Buttons and pictures have labels, each drawing in the tour reads as one sentence, nothing hidden behind a card is read out, and the charts in Progress offer Audio Graphs.
• Touch targets. Buttons that were too small to hit comfortably were made larger.
• Reduce Motion. With Reduce Motion on, cards fade instead of zooming or sliding, counts change without animation, and the tour shows still pictures.
• Dark mode. Every screen comes in light and dark. Repetta follows your iPhone, or you choose under Settings → Theme.

Still to do before launch

An automatic audit catches a lot, but not everything. Before Repetta goes on sale, these are checked by hand:

• A whole workout with VoiceOver, from picking an exercise to the saved set, manual counting included.
• Voice Control: every action reachable by voice.
• The iPad layout, the Apple Watch app, the widgets and the Live Activity with VoiceOver and large text. The audit above covers the iPhone app.

The App Store lists the accessibility features an app supports. Repetta's page will list only the ones these checks back up.

This website

• Works with a keyboard: a link to skip to the content, a visible focus ring, and the language menu and Repetta tabs work with keys (the arrow keys move between tabs).
• Follows Reduce Motion: the figure at the top stands still and sections appear without moving.
• Follows your light or dark setting; the button at the top switches it.
• Pictures that carry information have a text alternative; decorative ones are hidden from screen readers.
• Each page is marked with its language, so a screen reader uses the right voice.

Tell us what's in the way

If something in Repetta or on this website doesn't work with the way you use your device, write to feedback@repetta.app. Reports from people who use these features every day find what an audit misses.
