The connection holds
Ergmate reads your monitor over Bluetooth and keeps the link while you change songs, answer a message or watch a show in another app. If the signal drops for a moment, it reconnects on its own and the workout carries on as one piece.
• Live pace in large figures, readable from the seat, with time, distance, stroke rate, power, heart rate and calories
• A pace boat in the lane beside you: set a target pace and see how many metres ahead or behind you are
• Splits, summary and recovery heart rate saved as you go

Workouts set from your phone
• Build intervals by distance or time, with rest and a target pace for each one
• Send them to the monitor in one tap: it waits for your first stroke
• The live screen follows each interval, and the pace boat holds its target

Your progress at a glance
• History grouped by week, with each week's metres and time
• This week against last week
• Time in each heart rate zone for every workout
• A trophy on every personal best

On your home screen, in your colours
• A home-screen widget with this week's metres, your latest record and a shortcut to start rowing
• Light or dark theme, following your phone. The live screen stays dark, easier to read from the seat
• Layouts for tablets and foldables, with the list and the workout side by side

Included for everyone
The live screen, the connection that holds in the background, workout plans sent to the monitor, the home-screen widget, the steady pace boat, weekly totals, heart rate zones, personal best badges and your last 10 workouts with their splits. No ads.

Pro: one payment, no subscription
A single in-app purchase unlocks, for good:
• Your whole workout history (older workouts are kept and come back)
• Personal records on every distance and time, machine by machine
• A 12-week trend of your metres
• Race the ghost of any past workout, stroke by stroke
• Stroke-by-stroke charts of power, rate, pace and heart rate
• TCX export for your training log, and your whole history as a CSV file

Private by design
No account, no sign-in, no server. Your workouts stay on your phone, and the app never asks for your location.
