Tabata Core

About this app

Tabata Core is a fullscreen gym timer for Tabata-style and HIIT workouts: configure sets, reps, work intervals, and rests (including optional warmup and cooldown). No account required. Optional Tabata Core StopWatch companion sync over Bluetooth mirrors your timer on a esp32 stopwatch device when you pair one.
FEATURES
• Fullscreen timer with clear phase labels
• Sets × reps with work / rest between reps and sets
• Optional bundled interval sounds and button vibration
• Optional screen stay-awake during an active workout
• Optional background workout notification (phase and countdown on your device)
• Optional Tabata Core StopWatch sync over Bluetooth (phase, countdown, set/rep on your wrist when paired)
• Optional pause when a call or ringtone is detected (uses audio mode only — no access to your contacts or call log)
• Optional reaction-colour training during work intervals
• Workout resume checkpoint if the app is closed mid-session (stored on your device only)
PRIVACY
• Timer settings stay on your phone — we do not run servers for your workout data
• StopWatch sync is peer-to-peer over Bluetooth between your phone and watch; we do not receive that data on our servers
• No ads or analytics SDKs in the app
• Privacy policy: https://tasosstyl1984.github.io/tabata-core-privacy/
SAFETY & YOUR DEVICE
• Not medical advice — you choose intervals and intensity; train within your ability
• During workouts the screen may stay on and an optional notification may run — this uses more battery than idle use until the session ends
• You may be asked to allow notifications if you enable the background workout notification
• If you enable StopWatch sync and tap Scan & pair, Android may ask for Nearby devices (Bluetooth) permission — used only to find and connect your StopWatch, not for location
• StopWatch sync and a paired watch are optional; the app works fully as a phone-only timer without Bluetooth
• If Android closes the app in the background, resume behaviour can vary by phone manufacturer
• Uninstall or clear app storage to remove all saved settings, checkpoints, and paired watch info
