Finally found one that works for me

I was honestly surprised how difficult it was to find a good interval timer for Apple Watch. I didn’t want another fitness app with loud alarms and a bunch of workout statistics, I just wanted something that could quietly tell me when the next interval starts. This does exactly that. I mostly use the vibrations and rarely need to look at the watch at all. I also like that I can create my own routines instead of having to adapt to whatever presets the app gives me. There are quite a few settings if you want to customize things, but you don’t have to use all of them. For what I needed, it has been working really well.

Much more flexible than most timer apps

I downloaded this because I needed a timer where I could create my own sequence instead of using a fixed workout preset. That’s probably my favorite thing about it. You can make the intervals as simple or as detailed as you want, and the Apple Watch haptics make it really easy to use without interrupting what you’re doing. I’ve tried a few similar apps before, but they usually had too many unnecessary features or didn’t let me customize things enough. This one gives me the options I need without feeling overloaded.

Exactly what I was looking for

I was looking for an interval timer for my Apple Watch because I wanted something that would let me keep track of time without constantly looking at the screen. Most timer apps I tried were either too complicated or too focused on workouts. What I really like here is the haptic feedback. I can set up my own intervals and just feel when it’s time to move on to the next one. I’ve been using it for stretching and sometimes for meditation, and it works really well for that. Once everything is set up, I basically don’t have to think about the timer anymore. The app took me a few minutes to fully understand at first, but now I really like how flexible it is.

Not helpful for focus and can’t be customized, you have to use preset intervals

Bad

Response from developer

Hi, this is actually not correct. Tap Timer is fully customizable and you are not limited to preset intervals. It’s basically the main feature. You can create your own intervals with custom durations directly in the app, and on Apple Watch you can also customize which haptic feedback is used for different interval types and transitions. The presets are only there to make it easier to get started. I’m not sure what gave you the impression that custom intervals aren’t possible, but if something was unclear or difficult to find, please feel free to contact me through the app.

Wouldn’t sync to watch

I could never get the timers I made on my phone to sync to Apple Watch even after I bought the pro version.

Response from developer

Hi, I’m really sorry the sync hasn’t worked for you. Just to clarify, syncing intervals between iPhone and Apple Watch is not supposed to depend on Pro. Tap Timer is intentionally usable for free so the core workflow, including syncing, can be tested and used before deciding whether the additional Pro features are needed. The intervals are synced through iCloud. Could you check whether your iCloud storage is full? Syncing can also occasionally be delayed when one of the devices is in Low Power Mode. One thing that would be especially helpful to know: when you first installed Tap Timer, did the example intervals from the iPhone appear on your Apple Watch, or was syncing already not working at that point? You can also create intervals directly on the Apple Watch if needed. If this still isn’t working, please email me through the support contact in the app. I’m a solo developer and would really like to understand what’s going wrong in your case and get it working for you.

Finally!

A timer that will not interrupt your music, and that you do not have to manually shut off. It just gives you a quick buzz, that’s it!
