About Volt - Your treadmill runmate
Volt turns your iPhone (and Apple Watch) into a smart control panel for your Bluetooth treadmill. Connect once, then control speed and incline, watch your live stats, and let Volt automatically adjust your pace for you — all while every workout is saved straight to Apple Health. Works with any treadmill that supports the Bluetooth FTMS (Fitness Machine Service) standard. LIVE TREADMILL CONTROL - Start, pause, resume, and stop your treadmill directly from your phone - Adjust speed and incline in real time, no need to touch the console - See live speed, distance, incline, elapsed time, and calories at a glance - Safety-first pairing: nearby treadmills are ranked by signal strength, and Volt warns you if a machine looks like it's already in use before you connect SMART WORKOUT MODES - Free Run — full manual control, your pace, your rules - Heart Rate Cruise Control — set a target heart rate and Volt automatically raises or lowers treadmill speed to keep you in your zone - HIIT Intervals — automated sprint/walk intervals with treadmill speed changes handled for you, so you can focus on the effort APPLE WATCH COMPANION - Mirrors your live speed, distance, incline, and heart rate to your wrist - Start and stop workouts from either device — they stay in sync - Optional haptic feedback for pace changes and interval transitions - Built for Always-On Display, so your stats stay sharp and readable without draining your battery APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION - Every completed workout is saved to Health automatically — duration, distance, calories, and heart rate - Works whether or not you're wearing your Apple Watch: Volt saves the workout from your phone if your watch isn't paired for the session - Detailed per-second telemetry means your workout history shows real speed and heart-rate charts, not just a summary DYNAMIC ISLAND & LIVE ACTIVITY - Track your run from your iPhone's Lock Screen or the Dynamic Island without opening the app - Live speed, distance, and elapsed time, updated as you move WORKOUT HISTORY - Every past workout in one place, with distance, duration, calories, and average pace - Tap into any workout for a full speed, incline, and heart-rate breakdown over time MADE FOR RUNNERS AND WALKERS - Personalize calorie estimates with your own body weight - Available in English and Hungarian - A clean, distraction-free dashboard designed to be read at a glance, whether you're sprinting or walking the dog on your $200 basement treadmill Volt doesn't try to be a full fitness platform — it does one thing well: make your Bluetooth treadmill smarter, safer to control, and fully connected to the Health app you already use.
What’s new
Version 1.0.0 · Updated October 22, 2026
Heart Rate from AirPods & Bluetooth Sensors, Start Countdown, Workout End Times & a Smarter Apple Watch • New: use your heart rate without an Apple Watch — with AirPods Pro 3 (iOS 26 or later) or a Bluetooth heart rate sensor such as a chest strap or the Sennheiser Momentum Sport earbuds • One place to choose where your heart rate comes from — a single dropdown in Settings (None, Apple Watch, AirPods or sensor), and the card tells you which one is active • Volt checks that your AirPods or sensor really send heart rate before a heart-rate workout starts, and you can test again with one tap • New: a 3-2-1 countdown before the treadmill starts or resumes, also when you press Start on your Apple Watch — change the length or turn it off in Settings › Advanced • Workout time now only counts after you press Start, and a workout you never started no longer shows an empty summary • New: see when your workout will end, right on the workout cards on the Home screen • New: connect to your favourite treadmill automatically when Volt opens • New: a notification a few seconds before the next phase of a HIIT or custom workout, and the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show the current phase • New: the latest workouts are now in a History page on your Apple Watch • History and Apple Health now show the heart rate of AirPods and sensor runs, with the device name • A dropped Apple Watch no longer stops a workout that doesn't need heart rate — Home says "Heart rate sensor needed" or "No heart rate sensor needed", custom workouts work this out from their segments by themselves, and a small "reconnecting" note replaces the blocking screen • Missing heart rate readings no longer pull down your averages, charts or zones, and the display no longer freezes on the last number when the watch drops • Settings explain when heart rate is recorded, and the Summary and History tell you when none was • A workout restored after closing the app by accident now keeps its heart rate, speed and incline chart, and a custom workout carries on where it was instead of starting over • The Apple Watch connects more reliably, and a short drop shows a calm "standby" instead of a red "disconnected" • Smaller fixes: starting from the Apple Watch works every time, your calories are kept for the summary and Apple Health, and the heart-rate settings no longer jump around
