Read full description

VTimer is a customizable interval timer that repeats vibration or sound alerts at intervals you set. You can adjust the alert interval and alert length separately, making it easy to fit the timer to workouts, stretching, breathing exercises, study sessions, timed problem-solving, and other repeating routines. Choose vibration or sound for each repeat. In sound mode, you can pick an audio file from your device, preview it, and apply it in a few taps so the timer fits your routine. On the timer screen, you can check the remaining time, current status, and completed cycle count at a glance. Quick presets let you apply commonly used settings instantly, while simple start, pause, and reset controls keep the experience focused and easy to use. Full-screen mode hides unnecessary elements and shows the timer in large digits.
