Stride is an interval timer for HIIT, Tabata and EMOM on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Big gym-board clock: orange for work, green for rest, haptic cues on your wrist. Use it for CrossFit-style workouts, Hyrox stations, home HIIT or any interval countdown. Key Features: • Gym-board clock: the active interval fills the screen from the center until it ends. Orange for work, green for rest, blue while you get ready. Readable from the floor. • Apple Watch: pick a workout on your wrist and go. Haptic taps at every interval change and a 3-2-1 countdown, heart rate on the timer, and the clock keeps counting when your wrist drops. Finished sessions are saved to Health as HIIT workouts. • Saved presets sync from iPhone to Apple Watch automatically. • Live Activity and widgets: follow the countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, start your last workout from a widget, Control Center or Siri, and keep your training streak going. • Light or dark: choose Light, Dark or follow the system in Settings. • Tabata countdown: work and rest rounds with a preparation countdown. EMOM, Timer and Custom blocks are on the Pro Plan. • Music keeps playing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: AI Calorie Tracker at 126 against Stride's 9. Stride's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
