## What is Intervals?

Intervals is a beautifully simple interval timer built for anyone who trains with structure — whether that's a HIIT session, boxing rounds, circuit training, or a focused Pomodoro work block.

Set your work time, set your rest time, and hit Start. Intervals handles the rest — counting down each phase, signalling transitions with audio and haptic cues, and tracking your session as you go.

Multiple Timer Profiles
Create and save as many named timer profiles as you need. Switch between "Boxing Rounds", "HIIT", "Pomodoro", or any custom setup in seconds. Your profiles are always one tap away.

Clear Visual Feedback
A large countdown ring fills as each phase progresses. The entire screen shifts — green for work, red for rest — so you always know exactly where you are, even at a glance from across the room.

Audio & Haptic Alerts
A countdown tone plays 3 seconds before each transition, so you're never caught off guard. Haptic feedback keeps you in the loop when the screen isn't visible.

Session Stats
See your work periods, rest periods, and total elapsed time at a glance. Stay motivated as those numbers climb.

Built for Focus
Keep your screen awake during sessions so Intervals is always there when you look up. No subscriptions. No ads. Just a timer that stays out of your way.

Works as a Pomodoro Timer too
Set 25 minutes of work and a 5-minute rest for the classic Pomodoro technique — or any work/break ratio that suits your flow.

### 1/5 — Update has ruined it

*2017-04-07, version 3.0*

Updated yesterday and it now contains advertisements on the screen. Unwanted by me so I will be downloading a different timer instead

### 5/5 — A+

*2016-01-17*

Great app! Simple to use, would recommend. 

Would be cool if you had a variety of sounds instead of just the guitar. Maybe a bell or something similar.

### 2/5 — No sound

*2015-12-13, version 2.0.1*

With headphones in, sound and vibration right up I found that I wasn't being given any indications of when to sprint and when to jog until I unlocked my phone to find I'd been sprinting for more than double the length of time I'd set it to.

Needs some work.

### 1/5 — Hmmm

*2015-08-12*

Was excited to use this, but was disappointed. This app didn't work well with my music app (radio or downloaded music); it would shut the music off after a few minutes.  Also, the app would countdown when to start work (part of the time), but not when work started. Thus, unless I was watching the counter, I didn't know when to switch.  I don't really care to run while looking at the screen. Also, I couldn't set how many loops or rounds I wanted and thus had to keep track.

### 4/5 — It's great, but....

*2013-09-17*

I really enjoy using this app. I was given the advice to try "burst training" as a weight loss aid so I found this. I love the timers that count down to whatever length of interval you want to do. However, it would be REALLY helpful if there was an overall counter so you could set the length of time you want your total workout to last (20 min, 30 min, etc.). In addition, it would be great if the screen stayed on the entire time, or that it would at least function properly when the screen does time out. With a little work, this could be perfect!!

### 2/5 — Sound Not Working

*2013-04-30*

App should dim iPod music so I can actually hear the app. 

Sliders are a pain. Go with text entry. 

Fix these two and its a 5.

### 2/5 — Needs fixed

*2013-03-16*

Could be a good app but when the iPhone screen goes black the buzzer doesn't go off. You have to keep tapping the screen which is annoying while running intervals

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-02-08*

This is an app done right. It's simple and does what is is supposed to. There are loud bells and a "warning" alarm to mark the activity and rest periods. Nice.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2012-12-09, version 1.0.1*

This is a great app, perfect for any kind of interval training. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Perfect just as it is!

*2012-10-10*

Simple, easy and works very nicely. No more needs to be said.  Need an easy app for interval, this is it.
