Rep Timer is the timer you've been looking for! Rep Timer provides a simple, elegant way to time your holds without the need to look at your iPhone or Apple Watch. Just listen for the tone, or the tap on your wrist! And if you do look at it, it's beautiful and clear, providing a clear and elegant visualisation of the hold, and rests. It's awesome! Need to change settings? Easy! Change them on one device, and they are conveniently and automatically shared to your paired device (in either direction!). You can even save those settings as shortcuts. Have multiple workouts? Easy, just create a shortcut for each one! Swipe left and tap! Off you go! And if the app is open on both paired devices, starting your activity on one is automatically synced to the other! Don't have an Apple Watch? No worries, just use Rep Timer on your iPhone, and it will provide audible prompts, or taps (on a wooden table is awesome) to communicate. What you see is what you get. Do you want more? Let us know, and we'll look at adding in more features over time. If you're sick of ad supported apps, in-app purchases, or subscriptions, and you just want a simple timer that does what you need it to do, then Rep Timer is the app you're looking for. Rep Timer records any activities with HealthKit, so they count to your daily totals! I wrote Rep Timer because I've recently been given a set of daily exercises to do at home, and whilst I love Apples Workout app, it was a pain when I'm in a 30 second hold, that I couldn't look at my watch to know when it was time to have a break. Rep Timer lets me go into a hold, and just relax into it. When the tap comes, I know it's time to rest, and I know that Rep Timer will let me know when to start the next hold. I've built Rep Timer for my simple needs, and I'm sure that many people will appreciate a tool that is simple to use without all the fuss and bother of AI and spam generating subscriptions that just want their data. Sometimes when all you have is a nail, a hammer is all you need. Rep Timer doesn't share or collect any data outside what you permit it to store in your own HealthKit on your devices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CountFit at Free against Rep Timer's $0.99. CountFit also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Rep Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
CountFit is free to download; Rep Timer costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Rep Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rep Timer has 27 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Rep Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of CountFit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
