Motra is designed to track your strength workouts automatically, so you can stay focused on your movement without touching your watch. Our auto-detection system identifies exercises using motion data from your Apple Watch - counting reps, recognizing movement patterns, and logging sets in real time.
There may be times when you want to turn off auto-detection, for example if you're resting, or performing an exercise which is not supported with auto-detection.
Auto-detection is always on by default. If you want to turn off auto-detection, you must do so each time you start a workout.
Disable Auto-Detection:
You can disable auto-detection, but still keep your workout running. Your heart-rate, calories, and workout time will continue to track while auto-detection is paused.
Start your workout as usual in the Motra Apple Watch app
Tap the top-right corner of the screen during the workout
Turn Auto-Detection → Off
When auto-detection is turned off:
Motra still tracks HR, calories, and duration
No exercises or reps will be automatically detected
You can manually add the exercise afterward, such as rowing
This gives you full control while keeping your workout data intact.
