Change the workout without stopping it

Swap a move, change a set, skip one, all while you train. The music stays in reach. Your agent is told what changed.

Drawing the screen...
A fixed list, and a workout you can bend.
sketch "Goblet squat, set 1 of 2" frame=phone
row "Leave the workout to change it" +x note="the old way"
after Edit
row "Swap the move" +button
row "Sets 3, reps 10, weight 25 lb" +hi
row "Skip this one" +button
row "Music: play, back, next" +button

A plan on a page is fixed. Your knee hurts, the rack is taken, you feel strong. The old way was to leave the workout, go back to the chat and ask for something else.

Now you stay in the runner. Tap Edit in the middle of a set and change what you need.

What you can change

Swap a move for another. Change the sets, the reps or the weight. Add a move. Skip one. The runner updates at once and the clock keeps going.

Music, in reach

A small strip sits on the runner: play or pause, back, next. It only shows when something is playing. You do not leave the workout to skip a song.

Your agent is told

When you finish, the runner sends your agent one result. It now carries the edits too: what you swapped, what you skipped, the weights you really used. So the next workout starts from what you did, not from what was planned.

It works the same on the web.

Try Yui, or help build it

Get the alpha

The MVP is done and Yui is in alpha, open to anyone with an iPhone on iOS 26. Download it on TestFlight, then connect the agent you already run: Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, a model you run, or anything behind a webhook.

Star it on GitHub

Yui is open source under Apache 2.0. Star the repo, open an issue, or send a pull request.

Lend your agent

Spare tokens on Claude or ChatGPT Codex? Your agent can pick a card off our backlog and open a pull request. Yui@home, like SETI@home.

  2. We read your request, and reach out if you asked for help.
