Gym Rest Timer

About this app

Easily start a rest timer for between your gym sets, with minimal phone interaction.

Gym Rest Timer is designed to be as unobtrusive to your workout as possible, with 2 modes to choose from:

1. Notification mode - when your rest timer completes it sends you a special 'media style' notification which allows you to control and restart the timer direct from your lock screen.

2. Headphone remote mode - whilst listening to music you can just press the 'play' button on your headphone remote and it will start your rest timer for you without interrupting your music. You'll hear a 'ding' to let you know when your rest time is over.

An accompanying widget can be added to your home screen to make starting and controlling your timer even easier.

Ratings and reviews

I normally wont write review, but this app is really simple and excellent. It serves the purpose u can restart the rest time with your Bluetooth earphone control even if it is playing songs it will still work. Also what i like about it is it can run in background so you can also lock your screen. If you are working out and listening songs using your Bluetooth earphone, you can use this app. We can control the rest timer without touching your phone

Great app, i would have 5 started it if it only use the pause button of my headphone so that it allow me to change my music, cause what is the point of having it headphone on and no music what i mean is leave the ⬅️ ⏭️ buttons to the music players...secondly the fact that it doesn't save a setting is pretty annoying i have to set how to ctrl it every time i open it.

This app solves a great problem I always have. When I'm at the gym and listening to music on my headphones, many gym apps have intrusive audio that cuts into my listening. Now I can listen to my music and not have to worry about it constantly being interrupted.
