About

Cadence Timers

Features
Read full description

Cadence is a timer for the things you actually do, not just a single countdown. Build a sequence of timed phases, hit start, and stay in the moment. Cadence keeps perfect time and reaches you even when the screen is off, your phone is silenced, or it is across the room. BUILT FOR REAL ROUTINES Chain as many phases as you like, each with its own name and length, and repeat them for as many rounds as you need. Hot 3:00, cold 1:00, five times. Twelve named stations of a bodyweight circuit. Inhale, hold, exhale. Whatever your ritual, it fits. RELIABLE WHEN YOU ARE NOT LOOKING Cadence uses Apple's alarm framework, so the end-of-phase alert breaks through silent mode and Focus. A live countdown ticks on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so a glance is all it takes. No more frozen timers when the app slips into the background. EVERY KIND OF TIMER Countdown intervals, count-up with a cap, and open-ended stopwatch holds. That covers Tabata, HIIT, EMOM, AMRAP and For Time, Pomodoro and deep work, contrast therapy, breathwork, meditation with interval bells, cooking, and much more. A LIBRARY OF FAMOUS TIMERS Browse ready-made timers across fitness, productivity, walking, sauna and cold, breathwork, meditation, and everyday life. Start one instantly or save it and make it your own. The classic 7-minute workout even names each exercise on screen, so you always know what is next. CUES THAT RESPECT YOUR MUSIC Clear chimes duck your podcast or playlist for a moment instead of stopping it. Pick a sound that fits the moment, a soft bell for meditation or a sharp buzzer for a workout. SHARE YOUR TIMERS Send any timer to a friend with a single link. They tap it and it opens right in Cadence, ready to run. NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING Cadence works entirely on your device. There is no sign-up, no ads, and nothing is collected.
