Da Capo Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Some things in life need a rhythm. Da Capo Timer lets you build your own — a custom sequence of timers that loops from the beginning, over and over, until you're done. Create your own timer recipes. Stack countdown steps and rest intervals in any pattern you like. Flip your steak every 2 minutes? Set it and let it loop. Stretching routine where you hold for 30 seconds, rest for 5, then move to the next muscle? Build it once and run it forever. Know exactly where you are. Animated concentric rings track your current step, your progress through the sequence, and your total loops completed — at a glance, even across the room. Feel every transition. Each step ends with a distinct audio tone and haptic pulse so you never have to stare at the screen. A low tone signals a rest; a bright tone signals it's time to go. Built for repetition. Da Capo means from the beginning — because that's exactly what happens when your last step finishes. The pattern starts over automatically, keeping your rhythm going without any taps required. Whether you're in the kitchen, on the mat, or at the gym, Da Capo Timer keeps you in flow.
