# PauseWorkoutIntent

An App Intent that lets someone pause your app’s current workout session.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol PauseWorkoutIntent : SystemIntent
```

## Mentioned in

Responding to the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra

## Overview

Overview On Apple Watch Ultra, someone can pause your workout by simultaneously pressing the Action button and the side button while your app is running a workout session. To implement the pause action, create a structure that adopts the PauseWorkoutIntent protocol. struct MyPauseWorkoutIntent: PauseWorkoutIntent {    static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Pause Workout"

func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {        logger.debug("*** Performing a pause intent. ***")        await MyWorkoutManager.shared.pauseWorkout()        return .result()    } } This intent needs a title property that provides a localized description of the action, and a perform() method, which the system calls when it triggers the intent. For more information, see Responding to the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra.
