About

Hangboard is a fingerboard training timer for climbers. Three ready-to-go protocols, clear cues at every phase, and a clean FIT export into Garmin Connect. **Protocols** - **Repeaters 7/3** — 6 reps of 7 s hang / 3 s rest × 3 sets (180 s set rest). The classic finger-flexor endurance workout. - **Max Hangs** — 5 sets of a single 10 s max hang, 180 s rest. For pure strength work. - **Density Hangs** — 3, 5, or 10-minute blocks of 10 s on / 5 s off. Continuous volume work. **During a session** - Big arm's-length countdown that stays readable mid-effort. - Distinct haptic + audio cues for every phase (count-in, hang, rest, end of set). - Heart rate captured continuously. - Long-press START to pause / resume. BACK to exit with confirmation. - Ticking warning during the last 3 seconds of every phase. **After the session** - Activity automatically titled "Hangboard" in Garmin Connect (sport: indoor climbing). - Custom fields shown in the summary: hang count, total hang time, set count. - One lap per set — so Connect's Splits view shows reps and hang time block by block. - Local history of recent sessions, browsable from inside the app. **Languages** — English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese. **Permissions** — Sensor (heart rate), FIT / FitContributor (activity export), Notifications, Background. No data leaves the watch except through the FIT file synced via Garmin Connect.
