About
HIIT Timer & Trainer is a fast, no-nonsense interval timer for HIIT, Tabata, circuits, stretching, and anything else built around "do X seconds, rest Y seconds, repeat N times." On iPhone and Apple Watch — now with a 12-week home workout plan and a stretching plan.
WORKOUT PLAN
• A 12-week home plan: strength circuits, intervals and easy days, getting a little harder every few weeks.
• Every move explained in plain words — no jargon, no guessing. "12 times", "each leg", "hold 30 seconds".
• Strength moves wait for you to tap DONE; intervals have their own hard and easy tones and haptics.
• Track your weekly weight and monthly waist alongside the plan.
• Personal Plan (one-time purchase): answer six quick questions and get a plan built around your goal, your days and your time — then change any of it by hand, including knee-friendly moves.
FLEXIBILITY PLAN — NEW
• A second 12-week plan: daily stretching, about 15 minutes, to touch your toes again and squat deep with heels down.
CIRCUITS
• Comes with a ready-made Full Body circuit — try it, then build your own.
• Build your own workout: named exercises, each with its own duration, repeated over rounds.
• HIIT Timer & Trainer calls out every exercise — "Squats", "Plank" — so you never have to look at the screen.
• Optional warm-up and cool-down phases bookend any workout, circuits and classic sets alike.
LOCK SCREEN & DYNAMIC ISLAND
• Your running timer lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: current exercise, set counter, and remaining time at a glance.
iPHONE
• Three things on the screen: sets, exercise duration, rest duration. Plus or minus to dial each one. Long-press +/− to auto-repeat.
• Five preset slots — four built-in (8×20/10, 6×40/20, 5×1m/15, 4×3m/1m) and one fully customisable.
• Audio cues that actually help: a rising-pitch tick every second, a higher beep every 5 seconds, plus a voice announcement on a configurable interval ("3 minutes 20 seconds remaining"). Off, every 10s, or every 30s.
• Pause / resume / stop, with a clear "next phase" hint so you always know what's coming.
• Set rest to 0 for self-paced circuits — HIIT Timer & Trainer waits for you to tap CONTINUE before the next set.
• Keeps running when the screen is locked, audio coming through your speaker or headphones.
• Siri and Shortcuts: say "Start a HIIT Timer & Trainer workout" — works from the Action Button too.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
• A monthly calendar marks every day you finished a workout.
• Streaks, a 12-week trend chart, and 15 achievements to unlock.
• Home Screen widget with your current streak and this week's workouts.
• Optional daily reminder at your chosen time — it knows your streak and what's at stake.
• iCloud sync: progress and achievements follow you across your devices.
• Apple Health: finished sessions can be saved as HIIT workouts. Off by default.
APPLE WATCH
• Start, pause, and stop workouts from your wrist — no need to fish your phone out mid-set.
• Workouts finished on the watch count on your iPhone calendar too.
• Voice announcements over AirPods.
• Haptic cues every 5 seconds and on phase transitions, so you can train without headphones and still feel the cadence.
FREE, WITH TWO OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PURCHASES
The timer, the built-in presets, the calendar, the Apple Watch app and reading the plans are free. No subscription, ever. Two optional one-time purchases:
• Your Presets & Circuits — save your own presets and build your own circuits.
• Your Training Plans — run the 12-week and stretching plans, get a plan made for you, edit it by hand.
PRIVACY
No accounts. No analytics. No ads. Your settings, plan and workout history live on your devices and in your own iCloud — nowhere else. Apple Health is written only if you switch it on, and never read.
WHY HIIT Timer & Trainer
Most workout apps want a subscription and your data. HIIT Timer & Trainer wants neither. Open it, dial in the workout — or follow the plan — hit START, train, close it.
