About

Sequence

Read full description

Sequence is the timer for everything you do in steps. A workout, a pomodoro, a whole dinner on the stove. Build it exactly how you want, then let it run itself. Most timers give you one countdown. Sequence gives you stages that flow into each other, voice cues that tell you the next move, and as many timers running at once as your day needs. BUILD ANY TIMER YOU CAN PICTURE Stages, durations, colors, repeating blocks, and spoken cues. Set a round to count itself down eight times, drop in a halfway alert, name the cue in your own words. Your routine, exact to the second. IT JUST FLOWS HIIT, Tabata, run/walk. Every round counts itself down and rolls straight into the next. Set the intervals once and keep moving, eyes on your workout instead of your phone. Want a checkpoint? Turn on hold-to-confirm so a stage waits for you before it advances. RUN AS MANY AS YOU LIKE Steak searing, potatoes roasting, a sauce reducing. Sequence runs every timer at once and tells you exactly what fires next, so nothing gets missed and nothing burns. CUES ACROSS THE ROOM Every change calls out with a chime, a spoken word, and a full-screen cue you can read from the stove or the far end of the gym. Hands full? You will still know. LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Every running timer shows up on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Glance, skip a stage, or pause without unlocking. READY THE MOMENT YOU OPEN IT Start with built-in presets for cooking, HIIT, pomodoro, run/walk, breathing, and more. Run them as they are, or use them as a starting point for your own. YOURS FOREVER One payment. No subscription, ever. Buy once to build and customize without limits, and keep everything you make. Cooking, training, focus, breathing, chores. If it happens in steps, Sequence times it.
