## What is Kikan?

Kikan is a clean, powerful interval timer built for iPhone and Apple Watch. Set up your workout, hit start, and let precise haptics and audio cues guide every phase — no need to look at your screen.
Perfect for HIIT, Tabata, CrossFit WODs, boxing rounds, circuit training, EMOM, stretching, running intervals, or any workout with timed phases.

BUILT FOR REAL WORKOUTS
Create structured timers with work, rest, rounds, and sets. Or build fully custom sequences with named intervals in any order — name each one, set the duration, drag to reorder. Kikan handles everything from a quick Tabata to a complex circuit with multiple exercises. Start with a built-in preset like Classic Tabata, Boxing Combo Drill, or Full Body Circuit — or build your own from scratch.

STAY IN THE ZONE
Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep your timer visible on the lock screen. Haptic feedback marks every phase transition — feel the change, skip the glance. A 3-second audio countdown keeps you ready for what's next, and optional voice prompts announce each phase by name.

APPLE WATCH
Run full workouts directly from your wrist — no phone needed. Kikan on Apple Watch delivers haptics, audio cues, and automatic HealthKit tracking, with timers that sync instantly from your iPhone. Built for people who work out hard and don't want their phone in their hand.
