## What is Stepwise Timer?

Chain a few timed steps into a "sequence", press play, and Stepwise walks you through it — one step at a time.

Each step counts down on its own. When it ends, the next one starts automatically with a sound and a spoken announcement of what's coming up. You never have to look at your phone mid-routine.

■ Made for
· Morning routines: stretch, meditate, write down today's three things
· Focus work: Pomodoro, with automatic repeat rounds
· Workouts and stretching: one set after another, no stopwatch fiddling
· Cooking and pour-over coffee: bloom, pour, brew
· Winding down: breathe, stretch, lights out

■ What it does
· Sequence timing: set a duration per step; auto-advance or wait for your confirmation
· Spoken announcements: hear the next step's name, eyes closed
· Adjust while running: skip, go back, restart a step, or add +1 minute
· Repeat rounds: run the whole sequence a few more times automatically
· Finish signal: end the last step with a chime or your own spoken message
· Live Activity: see the countdown on the Lock Screen, pause or continue right there
· Home Screen widget: start a specific sequence with one tap
· Usage stats: a diary of every run, with a 7-day rhythm chart, a calendar and streaks
· Folders: keep your sequences organized
· Share: import via QR code, or export CSV as a backup
· Design with AI: paste the prompt from our support page into your favorite AI, then import the CSV it creates
· Fully offline: no account, no ads, no data collection

■ Free vs Premium
The free version includes every feature above, with up to 5 sequences and the last 30 days of stats.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-28

New
• “Repeat” on the finish screen: need a little more time on the last step (say, one more stretch)? Extend it right away without restarting the whole sequence. Stats are merged into the same session.

Fixes & improvements
• Fixed the Bell and Chime sounds playing silently; background notifications now use each step’s chosen sound
• Sequences with the same name no longer open the wrong one or mix their stats
• Deleting a sequence while it’s playing now stops its timer properly
• Restore Purchases now shows the actual reason when it fails
• Better battery life during countdowns

### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-15

No release notes.
