The complete gym timer. Free, really free. Gym Timer Pro is a Tabata, EMOM, AMRAP and interval timer built for people who actually train. No ads. No account. No subscription.

Round markers show where you are at a glance, so you never break form squinting at your phone. The clock scales up on iPad. LIGHT OR DARK Pick Light, Dark or System in Settings, and choose your own accent color. BUILT FOR A REAL SESSION • Save any timer as a preset and launch it in one tap from Saved Timers • Audio cues play alongside your music without stopping or lowering it • Leaving a running timer asks first, so you never lose a workout by accident • Type any time down to the second instead of fighting a picker EVERY WORKOUT, LOGGED History shows every session you finish. The Tracker adds a day streak, a 30-day activity graph, a monthly time goal and a full calendar view. Export it all to a spreadsheet whenever you like. APPLE HEALTH Finished workouts save to Apple Health, so your rings and training log stay honest. Gym Timer Pro only writes to Health; it never reads your health data.
