Custom Interval Timers vs IntervalFree

Create highly customizable interval timers in a beautiful Interface. Interval timers are useful for exercise, like High-intensity interval training (HIIT) or Tabata, and can also be used to manage productivity, events, and more! This app provides a fascinatingly simple and intuitive editor for setting up your own custom timers. With just a few building blocks you can create the exact experience you want. Multiple settings to match your preferences: - Count up or down - Personalize the running interface to show what matters to you - Light/dark mode - Disable ads for free!

IntervalFree is the workout interval timer that's actually free. No paywalls. No ads. No tricks. Every feature is unlocked from day one — and stays that way forever. SET UP IN SECONDS Configure your action duration, break duration, and number of sets with intuitive scroll pickers. Tap Start and your profile is saved automatically. No account required. GO CUSTOM: BUILD ROUTINES BLOCK BY BLOCK Need more than one interval pattern in a session? Switch to Custom mode and build your routine block by block — a warm-up, a legs circuit, an abs finisher — each with its own action time, rest time, and number of rounds. Add a breather between blocks or keep it rolling; the whole session runs as one seamless timer. Prefer things simple? Simple mode hasn't changed at all. You'll never have to touch Custom, and everything you've already saved looks and behaves exactly as before. GLANCEABLE & MULTITASK-READY A large timer ring shows your remaining time at a glance—green for action, blue for break. With Live Activities, your progress stays visible right on your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. Switch apps or lock your phone with confidence; the timer runs perfectly in the background. YOUR SOUND, YOUR PACE Choose from multiple Sound Themes to match your workout vibe. High-fidelity audio alerts keep you on pace even when your phone is in your pocket, and our smart audio handling ensures your music stays clear while the timer beeps.
