About

Repeat Timers

Read full description

Repeat Timers is the quick and simple interval tracking companion for your Apple Watch and iPhone. "Hold for 10s, switch sides, repeat 20x." If you’ve ever tried doing physical therapy, mobility work, or HIIT workouts with a standard timer, you know how frustrating it is to constantly pause your workout just to reset the clock for your next short interval. (And obviously counting to 10 consistently oneself is out of the questions.) Repeat Timers solves this by looping your intervals automatically. Set your ON and OFF durations once, and let the app handle the rest while you focus entirely on your form and effort. Designed with a focus on simplicity and native Apple design, the app lets you easily create custom timers and save them as tap-and-go presets. Features: • Automatic Looping: Never interrupt your flow. Timers cycle automatically through your ON and OFF phases so you don't have to touch your screen between sets. • Crystal Clear UI: A bold, high-contrast neon design that is easy to read at a glance, even during intense physical exertion. • Seamless Apple Watch Experience: Run your timers entirely from your wrist. With background execution support, your timer keeps running reliably even when the screen sleeps. • Haptics and Audio Cues: Never miss a transition. Subtle haptic taps count you down, and distinct audio tones guide your ON and OFF phases, so you never have to look at your device. • Save Your Presets: Create up to 20 custom timers and launch your favorites instantly with a single tap. • Widget Support: Add Repeat Timers directly to your Apple Watch face or Smart Stack for instant, one-tap access. • Privacy First: No accounts, no data collection, and no intrusive permission prompts. Just a pure, reliable timer.
