Repeatable Timer The timer that never stops working for you. Repeatable Timer automatically restarts when each cycle ends — no tapping, no resetting, just consistent rhythms for work, training, meditation, cooking, or any routine that benefits from a steady beat. Create timers that fit your life Set up multiple named timers, each with its own duration, cycle count, and alert style. Run unlimited cycles or cap a session at exactly the number of rounds you need. Never miss a beat Choose from a library of notification sounds and haptic feedback to signal each cycle end. Enable warning beeps so you know a cycle is almost up before it ends. Schedule your session, hands-free Let your timer start itself. Set a daily schedule and choose whether to receive a notification reminder or have the timer launch and begin counting automatically — even from the lock screen. PRO: Advanced Schedule Pick exactly which days of the week each timer runs. Keep your weekday work blocks separate from your weekend routine. PRO: Per-Cycle Durations Build interval sequences where every round has its own timing — warm-up, sprint, rest, repeat. Define as many durations as you need; the pattern loops continuously. Designed for focus Clean dark interface, glanceable live activity on your Lock Screen, and Home Screen widgets keep your current cycle in view without interrupting your flow.
