About this app

A workout interval timer for Tabata, HIIT, and any work-and-rest routine. Build a timer once, save it, and run it again with one tap. It's free to use. No paywall. No ads. No tracking. No accounts.

What it does:
- Build interval timers with warm-up, work, rest, recovery, and cool-down phases
- Or build a custom sequence: name each interval, set its length and whether it is work or rest, and repeat the whole list as many rounds as you like
- AMRAP mode: a countdown with a big tap-to-count round counter
- For Time mode: a stopwatch with an optional time cap and the same round counter
- Save timers as templates, run them again in one tap, and duplicate one to make a variation
- Audio cues, haptics, and optional voice announcements at every phase change, including the name of each interval in a sequence
- Watch the phase, set, and time left on a clear countdown screen
- On iOS, a Live Activity shows your timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
- Keeps running with the screen locked, so the phone can sit in your pocket

Made for any interval discipline:
- Rock climbing: hangboard and fingerboard repeaters (try 7 seconds on, 3 seconds off, for 6 sets), plus campus-board and no-hang protocols
- Boxing, MMA, and martial arts: timed rounds with rest between them
- High-intensity interval training and functional fitness: Tabata, EMOM, and AMRAP
- Running and cycling: sprint and interval training
- Strength and calisthenics: timed sets and supersets
- Yoga, mobility, and stretching: hold each pose for a set time
- Physical therapy and rehab: timed holds and repetitions
- Meditation and breathwork: steady, repeating intervals

If it has a "work for a bit, rest for a bit, repeat" shape, you can build it here.

Your data stays with you. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
Your timers stay on your phone. The only network activity is the check for app updates, which carries no information about you.

What’s new

Custom sequences: build your own list of named work and rest intervals and repeat it; the voice says each name. New AMRAP and For Time modes with a tap-to-count round counter. Duplicate a saved timer. Exercise and rest can now be as short as 1 second, in 1 second steps under 30. Fixed: on some phones the beep, bell and chime sounds were silent. As always, every feature is here for everyone, with no paywall, no ads, no tracking, no accounts.
