Baseline rope: the plan as written.
Every jump counts.
Jump Rope Protocol for iPhone counts every jump with your AirPods, Powerbeats or Apple Watch, runs your HIIT, EMOM and pyramid sessions, and adjusts to the rope in your hands.
Launch price $9.99, paid once. Then $19.99. No subscription.
Counts on Apple Watch too
Your AirPods count every jump.
The app reads your head’s motion through your AirPods: up as you leave the floor, down as you land. Leave the phone on the floor. The numbers are big enough to read from there.
- Cadence, streaks, trips
- Jumps per minute, your longest unbroken run, and every trip. The clock keeps running; the streak starts over.
- Heart rate
- Pair a Polar H10 or any Bluetooth heart-rate strap for live BPM, zones, and an alert when you run too hot.
- A voice in your ears
- The countdown, each round and each milestone, spoken in your AirPods.
- Calories
- Estimated from your weight and your time under the rope. Kilograms or pounds, your call.
Works with AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd generation or later), AirPods Max and Beats with head tracking.
Ten ways to jump.
Pick a format, dial it in on number wheels, and the app runs it: countdown, work, rest, and the voice in your ears.
HIIT
10 × 40 s / 40 s
Work and rest on the clock.
Jump intervals
5 × 100 jumps / 30 s rest
Each round ends on a jump count, not the clock.
EMOM
10 min · 25 jumps/min
Every minute, on the minute. Finish early, rest the rest.
Rising EMOM
10 → 20 jumps/min · until you miss
The target climbs each minute. With Death by on, the first miss ends it.
Pyramid
50-100-150-100-50 jumps
Targets climb to a peak, then come back down.
AMRAP
8:00 · as many as you can
One clock, one number to beat.
Density
8 min under the rope
Only time spent jumping counts. Take breaks whenever you need them.
Skill
6 × 30 s / 15 s rest
Cycle through footwork drills, one per timed round.
Free Jump
Goal · 500 jumps
Just count. Set a goal and hear it land.
Max unbroken
One run · until you trip
Keep the rope turning. Your first trip ends the test.
Build your own
Name it, set it on number wheels or type the numbers, and keep it for next time. It runs exactly as you wrote it. Presets get you going.
Heavier rope, honest targets.
Tell the app which rope you’re holding. Guided sessions scale cadence, volume and rest to its weight, for the same training effect.
Workouts you build run exactly as written, whatever rope you hold.
Proof you’re getting better.
The Progress tab turns every session into proof: twelve weeks of trends, eight personal records, the workouts you repeat compared with themselves, and your heart-rate zones. Compare a rope with itself and the numbers stay honest.

Questions, answered.
Which AirPods count jumps?
AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd generation or later), AirPods Max and Beats with head tracking, on an iPhone with iOS 17 or later.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. Your iPhone counts with your AirPods or Powerbeats. If you wear an Apple Watch, it counts too.
What about Garmin?
Garmin support is being explored. Want to use Jump Rope Protocol with your watch? Tell us your model on Discord.
Is it a subscription?
No. Counting is free for good, and Pro is a one-time purchase: $9.99 at launch, $19.99 after.
Where does my data go?
Your sessions stay on your devices, synced through your own iCloud. There’s no account and no ads. PostHog measures app usage and Pro purchases, including session starts and ends, without receiving session measurements or Apple Health data. If you allow it, Apple Health gives the app your weight and keeps your sessions as workouts.
Kilograms or pounds?
Your choice, for your weight and your ropes. Switch anytime in Settings.
Which heart-rate straps work?
The Polar H10, or any strap that uses the standard Bluetooth heart-rate service.
Which languages?
English and French.
