The Timer is a clear interval timer for combat sports, tabata, and other round-based workouts. Choose a ready-made preset, set up your own intervals, or build a complete workout from individual segments. Then press start and focus on training. QUICK START Start with built-in boxing and MMA workouts, or quickly choose the number of rounds, work time, rest time, preparation, and cooldown. CUSTOM WORKOUTS The advanced builder supports custom segments, repeat groups, and reordering. Save, edit, duplicate, delete, and favorite your presets for easy reuse. CUES YOU CAN FOLLOW Distinct sounds and optional haptics mark phase changes. A last-seconds warning helps you prepare for the next transition. The current phase color fills the display, making your workout easy to read from a distance. TIME THAT STAYS ON TRACK The timer uses real timestamps and catches up to the actual workout state when you return. Your workout can continue in the background and while the phone is locked. Pause, resume, skip the current phase, or end the workout whenever needed. PROGRESS AND PREFERENCES See the remaining time, upcoming phase, and total workout progress. Adjust workout sounds, haptics, keep-awake behavior, and app language to suit your setup. No registration or account required. Your custom workouts and preferences stay on your device.
