The EMOM timer that also runs AMRAP, Tabata, For Time and custom intervals, on iPhone and Apple Watch. Big digits, a ring or a plain clock you can read from across the gym, with the round on screen and a gym buzzer or 3-2-1 beeps to call it. Every session saves to Apple Health. No account. No ads. Pick a mode, tap a preset, train. FIVE WAYS TO TRAIN Switch modes from the dropdown on the main screen. - EMOM: every minute on the minute, 1 to 120 rounds or infinite. Work/rest splits of 30/30, 40/20 and 45/15 keep you honest inside each minute. - TABATA: the classic 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off for 8 rounds, plus 30/15, 40/20 and 45/15 variants. Add sets and rest between sets. - AMRAP: set the clock, tap the counter each time you finish a round, see your total at the end. - FOR TIME: the clock counts up until you hit Finish. Optional time cap. - CUSTOM INTERVALS: set any work and rest length with a picker, up to 60 minutes each, and any number of rounds and sets. Boxing rounds, sprint repeats, kettlebell complexes, your call. YOUR CLOCK, YOUR WAY - Three timer faces in Settings > Timer Display: the big phase-coloured Card, a Ring that sweeps clockwise through each round, or Plain digits. - Hundredths, if you want them: count down 59.99 instead of 60. - In EMOM, Tabata and custom intervals the round sits right on the timer, opposite WORK or REST. - Sounds: a gym buzzer or the classic beep to start each round, and five countdown sounds (Beep, Buzz, Pip, Tick, Chirp). Tap one to hear it, or switch the 3-2-1 off. APPLE WATCH + HEART RATE Leave your phone in the gym bag. The Watch app runs the timer with haptic countdowns and round alerts, shows your live heart rate, and saves each session to Apple Health as a HIIT workout with every round marked as a lap. ANALYTICS THAT READ YOUR WATCH Streaks, trends, personal records and recent sessions for every timer. Filter by mode and the Apple Health numbers follow: average and peak heart rate, active calories, calories per session, burn rate, heart rate recovery and workout time from your Apple Watch sessions. Plus resting heart rate and cardio fitness (VO2 max) to see the training pay off. MUSIC MIXER Choose a playlist, album or song from your Apple Music library for Work, Rest and Cooldown. Shuffle, resume or keep playing through rest. Works in every mode. PREP, COOLDOWN AND CUES Preparation countdown so you are set before the first beep: none, 3 or 10 seconds, or any custom length. Cooldown up to 60 minutes. Clear 3-2-1 countdowns and round sounds in the style you pick, timed to the second, that keep playing with your screen locked or while you change the song in another app. MAKE IT YOURS Eight color themes: Classic Gold, Ocean Blue, Crimson, Neon Green, Sunset Orange, Lavender, Mint and Midnight.
