Vuvu: Interval Walking Timer

Basement Experiments

About this app

Walk in rhythm with Vuvu.

Vuvu is a lightweight, distraction-free interval walking timer designed around the popular Japanese Walking Method. Whether you're building a daily walking habit, improving cardiovascular fitness, or simply enjoying mindful walks, Vuvu helps you stay focused on your pace without constantly checking your phone.

The Japanese Walking Method typically alternates between brisk walking and slower recovery periods for 30 minutes. Vuvu makes this effortless by guiding you through every interval with distinct sounds and vibration patterns, so you always know when to speed up, slow down, or finish your sessionl; even with your screen locked and your phone in your pocket.

Unlike many fitness apps, Vuvu is built with simplicity and privacy in mind.
