## What is Tap Timer?

TAP TIMER: SILENT HAPTIC INTERVAL TIMER FOR APPLE WATCH

Discreet, wrist-based vibration alerts for training, focus, and mindfulness. No sounds. No screen-checking.

- Standalone: Runs 100% natively on Apple Watch.
- Powerful: Build complex intervals in seconds using a drag-and-drop iPhone editor.
- Versatile: Designed for HIIT, EMOM, AMRAP, Pomodoro, and presentation pacing.
- Health Sync: Automatically logs workouts to Apple Health and closes Activity Rings.

Forget distracting alarms. Tap Timer uses the Taptic Engine of your Apple Watch to deliver precise, silent vibration patterns for every phase change. Whether you're running a boxing round timer, pacing a Pomodoro study session, or holding a breathing timer for yoga, you feel exactly where you are in your routine without ever looking at a screen.

BUILD COMPLEX INTERVALS
From a standard Tabata, heavy lifting session, or kettlebell workout to CrossFit WODs, pilates, and circuit training. Structure your workout timer on iPhone using an intuitive drag-and-drop editor. Everything syncs instantly to your wrist via iCloud. No accounts, no subscriptions, no setup.

DISTINCT HAPTIC FEEDBACK
Assign distinct vibration alerts for your prep countdown, work phase, rest timer, and cool-down. Keep it subtle for a meditation timer or breathwork, or sharp and distinct for a boxing or MMA training session.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.7 — 2026-08-15

• Faster Pro Sync: For some users, it took a bit longer for Pro purchases to be recognised on the Apple Watch. We've completely overhauled purchase syncing and verification with this update – it's now significantly faster and more reliable.
• Performance Improvements: We've also optimised the feedback and background mode on the iPhone to keep everything running smoothly.

### 4.6 — 2026-08-09

• New Pro Feature for Apple Watch: You now have full control! With the new skip forward and backward function, you can easily jump between your intervals. The buttons are enabled by default. If you prefer a more minimalist design or want to prevent accidental taps, you can hide them anytime in the Watch app settings.
• Performance Improvements: We've made some under-the-hood tweaks and minor optimizations to keep the app running even smoother.

### 4.5.1 — 2026-07-26

Timers can now be duplicated directly using a new button on each timer card. You no longer need to rely on the previously hidden swipe gesture, making the feature much easier to find.

The minimum Apple Watch requirement has been lowered to watchOS 10.6, allowing Tap Timer to support more older Apple Watch models.

### 4.5 — 2026-07-10

Improved Apple Watch startup reliability and fixed a rare issue that could prevent the Watch app from opening after installation.

### 4.4 — 2026-07-07

What’s new: We’ve made many visual improvements. Calendars can now be hidden for individual intervals to keep your overview cleaner. Streaks are still tracked automatically and will appear correctly if you turn them back on later. General performance improvements are included too.
