This is how apps should be

I don’t need my interval timer to win a design award. I just need it to work — and this one is great! No bloated features, no flashy UI trying to impress me, just a clean, functional tool that gets out of the way and lets me focus on my workout. Honestly, more apps could learn from this approach. Simple is hard to do well, and the developer nailed it.

My “go-to” for interval

This has been my go to for interval training for several years. It could be improved, but everything can be improved and I did this able to handle all basic intervals. If it could be programmed for multiple variations at once that would be awesome.
