Seconds is an interval timer for HIIT, Tabata, EMOM, circuits and any workout built from timed intervals. It calls each interval out loud, keeps running with the screen off, and runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Apple has featured it, and Joe Wicks, The Body Coach, has said it is the fitness app he uses more than any other. BUILD ANY WORKOUT - Start from a HIIT, Tabata or circuit template, or build a timer from scratch with sets, rounds and intervals of different lengths. - Chain timers into one compound timer, so a warm-up flows into the main set and then a cool-down. - Color-code every interval so you know what is coming before the beep. - Share a timer with a friend in one tap. HEAR IT, DON'T WATCH IT - Voice cues call out each interval by name and warn you before the next one starts. - Beeps and bells are there too if you would rather not be talked at. - Play your own music, per timer or per interval. Cues duck the music and it comes back up when they are done. - The timer keeps going in the background while you use other apps or the screen sleeps. ON THE GYM FLOOR - A full-screen, color-coded display you can read from across the room, in portrait or landscape. On iPad it uses the whole screen. - A lock button stops a stray tap from pausing your set. APPLE WATCH - Seconds runs on the watch by itself, so the phone can stay in the locker. Timers you build on the phone sync to the wrist, and Quick Intervals builds a basic circuit on the watch itself. MORE TIMERS - A stopwatch that marks your best and worst laps. - A countdown timer with five preset durations (three on Apple Watch). APPLE HEALTH - Save workouts and mindful sessions to Health. With a heart rate monitor connected, Seconds reads your body measurements and year of birth from Health to estimate calories burned. FREE TO TRY, ONE PAYMENT TO UNLOCK - Everything is available from the first launch. Build any timer and run it. - Each timer locks after you run it once. A single in-app purchase removes the lock on every timer you make. SECONDS AND SECONDS PRO - Seconds Pro is the same app, paid once up front, with nothing to unlock. The two are separate products and a purchase in one does not carry over to the other. If you bought Seconds Pro, download Seconds Pro. If you bought the unlock in Seconds, download Seconds and use Restore Purchases.

Pacewell 为职场跑者而设计:不是催你加练的健身教练,而是一份尊重生活节奏的训练计划。 无论你在备战全程马拉松,还是只想稳定养成跑步习惯,Pacewell 都会根据你的可用训练日、时间窗口与恢复偏好,生成可执行、可调整的本地计划。 【两种计划模式】 • 马拉松计划:面向忙人的周期训练——有基础期、强化期、减量与比赛周;每周通常安排一次质量课,并穿插短时跑者力量课。 • 习惯模式:以轻松跑为主的滚动计划,帮你把跑步变成可持续的生活节奏,而不是一场冲刺后的放弃。 【今日一目了然】 打开 App,立刻看到今天该练什么:轻松跑、长距离、质量课或短时力量。每节课都有目的、体感与动作要点,帮你练得清楚、练得稳妥。 【生活优先的安全调整】 加班、睡眠不足、疼痛或不适、出行冲突时,可一键调整近期计划。Pacewell 倾向取消或降级,而不是机械补课——先保住连续性,再追求跑量。 【进度与健康洞察(可选)】 连接 Apple 健康后,可查看完成率、周跑量、睡眠与静息心率等就绪信号;匹配到今日跑步时,会先请你确认再标记完成。数据用于本机展示,不会上传到我们的服务器。 【Apple Watch】 可将近期跑步课表同步到系统「体能训练」,方便在手表上开跑。Pacewell 本身不是独立的 Watch App;同步依赖系统能力与手表支持情况。 【本地优先】 计划、完成记录与偏好保存在你的 iPhone 上。可导出计划、删除全部数据。我们不做广告追踪,也不把健康数据发到云端。 免责声明:Pacewell 提供训练参考,不构成医疗建议。若出现改变动作的疼痛,请停止训练并在需要时就医。
