Interval training deserves better. Vault Timer is a workout timer for people who train seriously: HIIT, Tabata, EMOM, AMRAP, boxing, BJJ and strength work. Big digits, clear sounds, no clutter. IT COUNTS YOUR REPS Set a work phase by reps instead of seconds, say 12 reps at 30 BPM, and Vault Timer paces every rep with a metronome and a spoken count, with the rep number big on screen. Ready-made 5Ć5, Hypertrophy and Rep Burn presets get you started. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE GYM Boxing rounds open and close with a bell, BJJ rounds with a buzzer, just like the clock on the wall. Everything else gets a spoken 3-2-1 countdown and voice cues. READ IT FROM ACROSS THE ROOM Turn your phone sideways for landscape "gym TV" mode: huge, high-contrast digits you can see mid-set. FEATURES ⢠Quick-start presets: HIIT, Tabata, EMOM, AMRAP, Fat Burn, Strength, Boxing, BJJ, 5Ć5, Hypertrophy and Rep Burn ⢠Workout Builder for your own circuits ⢠50-movement exercise library, including 20 dumbbell exercises ⢠A form guide on every exercise: what it works, how to do it, and a cue to keep in mind ⢠Accurate in the background: lock your phone or take a call and it comes back showing the right time ⢠Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island ⢠Haptics on every transition, and keep-awake so the screen never goes dark mid-set ⢠Saves your workouts to Apple Health ⢠Workout history, streaks and a home-screen streak widget ⢠Text that scales with your iOS text size FREE, OR PRO FOR ONE PRICE Every quick-start preset and two custom workouts are free, with no ads and no account. One purchase unlocks Vault Timer Pro for good: unlimited custom workouts, Apple Watch sync, a choice of voice coaches and colour-coded phase backgrounds. No subscription, ever. Vault Timer. Interval training, perfected.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Vault Timer at every 2 weeks against Pure Energy Music's every 2 months. Pure Energy Music's advantage is iOS requirement (15.2 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
