Frequently asked questions

What is NodLift?

NodLift is an app for iPhone and Apple Watch that manages sets and rest times at the gym. Finish a set with a nod using your AirPods, and the rest timer starts automatically. A sound and voice cue in your headphones tell you when to go again, so your phone stays in your pocket.

How much does NodLift cost?

NodLift is free: no subscriptions, ads or account needed.

Which devices does it work on?

On iPhone with iOS 18 or later and Apple Watch with watchOS 11 or later. Head gestures require AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd generation or later) or AirPods Max.

Do I need AirPods?

No. Head gestures require AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd generation or later) or AirPods Max. Without them, finish a set using the volume buttons, the Action button, Siri, Apple Watch or the on-screen button.

Does it work with the screen locked?

Yes. Lock your iPhone and put it in your pocket: NodLift manages sets, rest times and alerts, even with music playing. Keep the app running; force-quitting it from the app switcher ends your workout.

Can I import a workout plan with AI?

Yes. Import a photo, a PDF or text, then review exercises, sets, reps and rest times before saving. On-device AI requires iOS 26 or later, a compatible iPhone and Apple Intelligence enabled, with its model downloaded. When AI is unavailable, NodLift recognizes common formats locally: your plan is never sent to external servers.

What can I do with widgets?

Add the NodLift widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen. Choose a workout plan, start your workout, see active sets and rest times, and view today’s summary. The larger Home Screen widgets also let you finish a set or skip a rest.

Is NodLift available in English?

Yes. NodLift is available in English and Italian, including its interface, voice cues and notifications. Choose your language in Settings → Language in the app. To set the language for widgets, Live Activities, Siri and Apple Watch too, follow the instructions on the Support page.

Where does my data go?

Workout plans, weights and history stay on your devices: NodLift has no server and uses no analytics. AI import is also processed on your iPhone: photos, PDFs and text are never sent to external servers for recognition. You can choose to save workouts to Apple Health.
