## What is HIIT Timer & Trainer?

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.

### 1.1.7 — 2026-10-27

• New name: HIIT Timer & Trainer — it's more than a timer now.

### 1.1.6 — 2026-10-27

New: every move now has an animated figure.

• See how to do each move in the guide, and right on the timer while you train — in the 12-week plan, the new stretching plan and your own circuits.
• A 12-week stretching plan to touch your toes again and squat deep with your heels down: six days a week, about 15 minutes. Read it for free; the guided sessions come with the Personal Plan.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-10-12

Timer 2000 is now HIIT Timer 2000 — same app, a name that says what it does.

It now speaks German, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese — the whole app, the 12-week plan with every move explained, and the voice that counts you through your workout.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-10-10

New: a 12-week home workout plan, built in and free.

• Every move is explained in plain words — what it works, how to do it, and a link to a video.
• Strength sessions wait for you to tap DONE; interval sessions beep and buzz differently for hard and easy parts.
• Log your weekly weight and monthly waist and watch the trend.
• The timer is still right where it was. The plan sits below it.

Want a plan made for you? Answer six quick questions (goal, how active you are, how many days, how long) and see what we suggest. Using it, and changing any part of it by hand, is a one-time purchase.
