EMOM Timer is a workout timer for EMOM, Tabata, AMRAP, For Time and custom intervals, with an Apple Watch app that saves every session to Apple Health. Pick a mode, tap a preset, train. No accounts. No ads. No clutter. Just you and the clock. 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. APPLE WATCH + HEART RATE Leave your phone in the gym bag.
