What's New in Interval Timer

3.0.0

August 26, 2026

THE BIGGEST UPDATE IN INTERVAL RUN HISTORY IS HERE Interval Run has been rebuilt with a fresh design, powerful workout tracking, Apple Watch support, Apple Health integration, and more ways to stay focused on every interval. YOUR FULL VERSION PURCHASE REMAINS UNLOCKED If you previously purchased the Full Version, everything included in your original purchase remains unlocked, including unlimited intervals, extended interval durations, and unlimited repeats—no subscription required. INTRODUCING INTERVAL RUN PRO Interval Run Pro unlocks new features introduced in this update, including multiple saved workouts, extended interval durations and repeats, workout history, custom workout colors, and backup and restore. AN ALL-NEW WORKOUT LIBRARY Create workouts for different training goals and keep them ready for your next run. Customize warm-up, running, walking, and cool-down intervals, choose the number of repeats, assign colors, and preview the entire workout before you begin. WORKOUTS BUILT AROUND YOUR GOAL Tell Interval Run whether you want to start running, run farther, or run faster. The app will create three starter workouts designed around your goal, so you can begin training immediately and adjust each workout as you progress. TRAIN WITH APPLE WATCH Your workouts now go wherever you go. Sync them to Apple Watch, start and control a workout from your wrist, and train without carrying your iPhone. Follow the current interval, upcoming interval, elapsed time, heart rate, distance, and active energy while you run. APPLE HEALTH WORKOUT TRACKING Optionally save completed workouts to Apple Health so they appear alongside your other activity. Interval Run can track workout duration, distance, active energy, and heart rate when available. WORKOUT HISTORY AND CALENDAR Every completed workout can now become part of your training history. Browse your sessions in a calendar, review interval details and workout metrics, and look back at your progress over time. LIVE ACTIVITY Keep the current interval and workout progress visible on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Follow your workout without repeatedly opening the app, even while listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks. VOICE ANNOUNCEMENTS, HAPTICS, AND NOTIFICATIONS Stay on pace without watching the clock. Clear voice announcements and haptic cues let you know when an interval changes, while notifications alert you to interval transitions and workout completion when the app is in the background. SHARE YOUR RESULTS Celebrate a completed workout with a redesigned summary. Create a shareable result card and send it to friends or save it for yourself. BACKUP AND RESTORE Export a backup of your workouts and workout history, then restore your data whenever you need it.

simple app

too simple that you don’t have options for sound effects, can barely hear the interval announcer

Needs a few more things to be perfect

I love the simplicity of this app and it almost meets the need of what I’ve been looking for. Three things that would make this perfect:
1) a tabulation of total time of the workout you’ve created before getting started
2) announcements at the cool down period and at the congratulations screen, like the warmup and the intervals have (I put my phone in a running belt so if it doesn’t talk to me, I don’t know I’m at this point)
3) the ability to still announce when the screen is turned off. Right now, if I turn off the screen it will notify me visually but not over audio. And because I’m not looking at my phone while running, I have to keep my screen bright.

Great app!

Would give 5 stars but only 2 options - run or walk. For longer workouts and choosing a run/walk/jog split it would be nice to change intervals based on set vs having just a set run or walk period. Still a great app!

Cannot pause it

It would be nice if you could have an option to pause the timer. Also, the “Time remaining “ must be larger so I don’t have to put my glasses on to read it !!
Otherwise, a nice simple timer.

Great app to Gradually get back into running

I love the app . I just wish the prompts could still be heard when it’s minimized.
