An interval timer that does one thing well and doesn't drift, doesn't track, doesn't ask you to subscribe to keep using it. Build any sequence of work, rest, and prepare steps. Press start. Beeps land exactly when they're supposed to — even on the lock screen, even with music playing. We made it because we got tired of timers that lost the count mid-set. Free. No ads. No subscriptions. No analytics SDK in your pocket. WHAT'S INSIDE Build the train you'll actually run Three step types (work, rest, prepare). Any duration, any order. Tabata, EMOM, boxing rounds, CrossFit WODs, mobility, breathwork — the same three pieces, your sequence. Your last train auto-loads when you open the app. Your own beeps, on every phase Sixteen built-in sounds, plus custom cues per phase. Two kinds of cues: single (once, X seconds before the end) or recurring (every X seconds). Recurring cues are unrolled into an exact schedule before the timer even starts. The trains you actually did Every finished train is auto-saved with a colored timeline showing every work and rest segment exactly as you ran them. Three numbers at the finish — sets, time, work time. Tap any past train to re-load and re-run it in two taps. On your wrist, when the phone's away The Apple Watch companion app runs trains from your wrist with two modes — Basic, for a single round, and Interval, for the full work / rest / prepare sequence. The digital crown sets durations. Tap the lock to keep a sweaty palm from pausing mid-set. And you don't have to watch the screen. A haptic tap on your wrist tells you when the current step is ending and the next is starting. PRIVACY, FOR REAL Everything — your sequences, your history, your custom sounds — lives on your device. There is no server, no account, no sign-up. The app ships with zero analytics SDKs, zero crash reporters, zero advertising identifiers. We do not share data with anyone, because we do not collect it in the first place. PERFECT FOR · HIIT, Tabata, EMOM · Boxing rounds, MMA, kickboxing · CrossFit, AMRAP, time-capped WODs · Mobility, stretching, yoga flows · Breathwork (Wim Hof, box breathing, 4-7-8) · Lap timing, climbing intervals · Anyone who counts seconds for a living WHO MADE THIS Two people, with coffee and a barbell. We use the app every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. If we find a bug, we fix it the same week — not in next quarter's roadmap. If you have a feature in mind, write to us. One of us will read it. — Just Two hi@justtwo.co

About

Run Walk

Features
Read full description

Your pace. Your intervals. Run Walk is a simple interval timer for iPhone and Apple Watch. Set your warm-up, running and walking times, then repeat for a chosen duration or number of rounds. CLEAR AT A GLANCE • Follow a large countdown and current-interval progress. • See what’s next and how many runs you have left. • Warm up separately, then watch your overall interval progress build. • Hear alerts when it’s time to change pace. • Set running or walking to zero for a single-activity workout. • Pause and resume whenever you need. PHONE ONLY — IDEAL FOR THE TREADMILL Keep the timer on your iPhone while you record separately with Apple’s Workout app and your compatible connected treadmill. Phone-only mode does not start our Watch app or a Health workout. PHONE + WATCH — RECORD YOUR WORKOUT Choose indoor or outdoor, start on iPhone, then follow your intervals on Apple Watch. Once your workout reaches the Watch, the timer continues even when you leave your phone behind. Pause, resume and end from your wrist, with haptic alerts at interval changes. With your permission, the Watch records your workout and available heart rate, active calories and distance. Outdoor workouts can include a route map. When you finish, choose Save workout to see it in Apple Health and Fitness, or Discard. Use Run Walk as your workout recorder in Watch mode. Apple Watch supports one active workout session at a time, so this mode cannot run alongside another Watch workout app. Indoor distance comes from the Watch’s estimate; our app does not connect directly to treadmill equipment. KEEP MOVING Your timer keeps track of elapsed time while you use other apps. Allow notifications for background interval alerts. Live Activities show progress on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on supported devices; you may need to reopen the app to refresh the current interval after a boundary. No account. No subscriptions. No ads. Health and location permissions are optional. Without Health access, Watch recording and background wrist alerts are limited. Outdoor route recording needs location access. Sounds and notifications follow your device’s sound, notification and Focus settings.
