Rounds is an interval timer that doesn't hold features back. Everything is free — unlimited timers, compound timers, the coach voice, music, widgets, Apple Watch and Apple Health. A REAL COACH Liam calls every round, every interval and what's next — 400+ exercises, from burpees to the Pilates hundred — "Round 3 of 8! Work!", "Next up: squats!" — over your music, with the screen locked. BUILD ANY WORKOUT • HIIT, Tabata and circuit builders • Custom timers with repeating groups inside groups • Change every work or rest interval at once • Folders and search — drag timers to rearrange them, or drop one on a folder to file it • Starter workouts: Tabata, HIIT, the 7-Minute Workout, a Pilates mat class, EMOM, boxing rounds and focus sessions IN CONTROL MID-WORKOUT Jump straight to any interval from the list on the workout screen — handy when a class runs long or short. Pause, skip back or skip ahead any time. START WITHOUT OPENING THE APP • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets start a timer in one tap • Siri and Shortcuts: "Start Tabata in Rounds", "Start a 5 minute countdown in Rounds" YOUR MUSIC Works with whatever you're playing — Spotify, Apple Music, podcasts.
