Best for counting holds

Iโ€™ve tried a lot of similar apps and finally found this one that will count reps and holds. Simple but effective!

Been looking for something like this forever. The app I subconsciously knew I needed!!

Great! This should be paid but thanks for the generosity of the inventor and maker!

Does not run in background.

Simple test. Make a chime with 1 second interval to run for 1 minute. While app is on screen it chimes every second. Hit IPhone Home button to put app background. It stops chiming, until you bring it to the foreground again.

Love it! but wish it was apple watch compatible

Love it! but wish it was apple watch compatible Iโ€™d use it when Iโ€™m outside working out and donโ€™t carry my phone.

Works perfectly!

Set timer to chime at intervals for a certain amount of time. Example: Chime every minute for five minutes. It would be even greater to be able to set different intervals. Chime at 1 min and then after 2 mins and the 1.5 mins, etc.

Needs one fix

I like this App but at some point it must have changed bc unless I leave it open and onscreen it sets the timer back to the start, not running. So on a run w set chime to alternate walking and running, it works great until I switch screens to see a text or change the music. Once I do that, the chimes stop coming, even w it open in the background, and when I get back to that screen I have to start it all over. Totally messes up the timing.

The best

I use these everyday. My iPad timer and alarm on the Apple clock app are always set on the same daily schedule, so these chimes are great for other matters. They work perfectly.

Super simple, love it

It's a great repeating timer... set it for every 20 minutes for 3 hours or every 3 minutes for 14 hours... whatever you need. No resetting, or worse, no FORGETTING to reset. I use it when I'm reading or playing a game to remind myself to get up and move occasionally.
***update a couple of years later: I STILL love it. Best timer of all time! Thank you so much for making this.

Perfect little app

This is a splendid example of a very nice little app, that does its one thing feature without glitches & provided all necessary options - none more, none less. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

I'd wished a lot more apps would stick to those design principles.

Exercise

I have used chimes in the past to complete timely tasks. Right now Iโ€™m using the computer more and need to get up and move every 45 minutes. Itโ€™s important to keep me circulation going. I do some leg lifts, marching and arm swirls just to engage my whole body. Also I do some gentle neck exercises. Thanks to chimes itโ€™s a good reminder method!

Barely of any use

I wanted a chime to remind me to do something every 2 hours - I couldn't get this thing to ever do it more than once. I would have tried harder to figure it out, but it also doesn't have a schedule - so even if it did work, it would be chilling in the middle of the night. Poor interface too. All around bad.

Great for meditating

This app is perfect for meditating! I prefer to meditate without any technological โ€œguideโ€ and wanted a simple non-jarring prompt when the session was over that did not require any engagement from me. This app works perfectly! Thank you! : )

Perfect for yin

I teach and practice yin yoga and this is the perfect little companion. Easily programmed. I love this app and use it every day.

I guess it works - but not for #Deaf

I wanted something I could hear "right out of the box." I was looking for a repeating chime so as to remind me to step away from the computer, stand up, etc. I'm deaf in the high frequency tones and without hearing aids or earphones or holding my phone literally right in my ear all day, I can not hear the tone. I barely hear some of the three "triangle" tone pieces even with holding phone right inside my "good" ear. (I hear nothing in my bad ear.).

I did hear from the developer and he said I could test the other options by a complicated set of directions and I only today was able to go back and re-read and figure it out. I could hear a few of those samples, but they are all fairly quiet...AND I will have to pay extra to compensate for the deafness that is not "my fault" nor "his fault". So this is one I will delete for now, as I ended up buying a Westminster Chime app. But if someone really needs all the extra pomodoro reminder chimes, this would be a better app then the one I got (just 4 chimes an hour , 15 minutes each, and it chimes the hour at top of the hour.).

Nice

Very nice and useful app.
What I miss is sth like:
"run Mo-Fr 8-17h"

Works great

Needed a simple app that wasn't obnoxiously loud to go off every 15 minutes for 16 hours a day. Love that I don't have to set it up every day. I haven't played around with it much, but it was easy and quick to set up and he has a YouTube video to walk you through it if you need the help. Wish I could have it start itself in the mornings since now that's what I have a hard time remembering to do. Guess I'll have to set an alarm for that part though.

Simply works great.

Easy to use. Ultra reliable. Pay the extra and get the Pro for multiple chimes and tune selection.

Favorite Repeating Timer

I had a task that needed to be repeated and I didn't want to keep setting the timer every time. I tried several timer apps and this one is my favorite. You can set up multiple timers and even save them to use again later. From a simple repeating timer to more complicated nested timers this will do what you need. For example, you can set up a Pomodoro session of 25 minute bursts and 5 minute breaks repeating four times or anything else you can imagine. I would love it if I could use custom ringtones. Otherwise, it works great and is very useful as a repeating timer.

Needs improvement

I was happy to have found an app that chimes at certain intervals. But unfortunately this app behaves very erratically and the edit page did not change the things I wanted. I hope the developer(s) take the time to correct this. Otherwise it is a waste of precious space on my iPhone.

Response from developer

Hi ebassiri, would you go through the Support menu in the app and let me know what it is you're looking for in the Edit screen?

Seems to work beaut

Use it as a precaution against falling asleep for too long while doing body scan/meditation
