EMOM Timer

Features
Read full description

The EMOM timer that also runs AMRAP, Tabata, For Time and custom intervals, on iPhone and Apple Watch. Big digits, a ring or a plain clock you can read from across the gym, with the round on screen and a gym buzzer or 3-2-1 beeps to call it. Every session saves to Apple Health. No account. No ads. Pick a mode, tap a preset, train. FIVE WAYS TO TRAIN Switch modes from the dropdown on the main screen. - EMOM: every minute on the minute, 1 to 120 rounds or infinite. Work/rest splits of 30/30, 40/20 and 45/15 keep you honest inside each minute. - TABATA: the classic 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off for 8 rounds, plus 30/15, 40/20 and 45/15 variants. Add sets and rest between sets. - AMRAP: set the clock, tap the counter each time you finish a round, see your total at the end. - FOR TIME: the clock counts up until you hit Finish. Optional time cap. - CUSTOM INTERVALS: set any work and rest length with a picker, up to 60 minutes each, and any number of rounds and sets. Boxing rounds, sprint repeats, kettlebell complexes, your call. YOUR CLOCK, YOUR WAY - Three timer faces in Settings > Timer Display: the big phase-coloured Card, a Ring that sweeps clockwise through each round, or Plain digits. - Hundredths, if you want them: count down 59.99 instead of 60. - In EMOM, Tabata and custom intervals the round sits right on the timer, opposite WORK or REST. - Sounds: a gym buzzer or the classic beep to start each round, and five countdown sounds (Beep, Buzz, Pip, Tick, Chirp). Tap one to hear it, or switch the 3-2-1 off. APPLE WATCH + HEART RATE Leave your phone in the gym bag. The Watch app runs the timer with haptic countdowns and round alerts, shows your live heart rate, and saves each session to Apple Health as a HIIT workout with every round marked as a lap. ANALYTICS THAT READ YOUR WATCH Streaks, trends, personal records and recent sessions for every timer. Filter by mode and the Apple Health numbers follow: average and peak heart rate, active calories, calories per session, burn rate, heart rate recovery and workout time from your Apple Watch sessions. Plus resting heart rate and cardio fitness (VO2 max) to see the training pay off. MUSIC MIXER Choose a playlist, album or song from your Apple Music library for Work, Rest and Cooldown. Shuffle, resume or keep playing through rest. Works in every mode. PREP, COOLDOWN AND CUES Preparation countdown so you are set before the first beep: none, 3 or 10 seconds, or any custom length. Cooldown up to 60 minutes. Clear 3-2-1 countdowns and round sounds in the style you pick, timed to the second, that keep playing with your screen locked or while you change the song in another app. MAKE IT YOURS Eight color themes: Classic Gold, Ocean Blue, Crimson, Neon Green, Sunset Orange, Lavender, Mint and Midnight.

About

Trimate

Train for your first sprint or your next Ironman with a plan that's actually built around you — your race, your experience, your week. Trimate is the triathlon coach in your pocket: personalised swim, bike and run training that adapts as you go, guided sessions that talk you through every interval, and nutrition planned around the training you actually do. YOUR PLAN, NOT A TEMPLATE • Tell us your race (sprint to Ironman — or 5K to marathon, TT, open-water) and how much time you've got. • No power meter or GPS watch needed: answer a few plain-English questions, and simple benchmark sessions in your first weeks set your true paces. • Proper periodisation: base, build, peak and taper, with recovery weeks, race-pace work as your event approaches, and sessions that vary week to week — no Groundhog Day training. • See your predicted finish time — leg by leg for a triathlon — and watch it move as your fitness does. GUIDED SESSIONS THAT COACH YOU • Voice coaching speaks every interval over your music — your playlist dips, the instruction plays, the music comes back. It nudges you too: "ease off" or "pick it up" when you drift off target. • Live GPS distance and pace on outdoor runs and rides, tinted against your target. Track sessions are written the way runners read them — 5 Ɨ 1 km, 8 Ɨ 800m — and each rep ends when you've covered the distance, not when a timer guesses you have. • Lock-screen Live Activity and a companion Apple Watch app with live heart rate and effort. A PLAN THAT BENDS, NOT BREAKS • Life happens: move any session to another day and Trimate checks the week still makes sense — no back-to-back hard days, long sessions protected. • One tap rebalances a week that's drifted. • Training going better (or worse) than planned? Trimate spots it and offers to recalibrate your zones and volume. FUEL THE WORK • Daily energy, carb and protein targets sized to each day's training. • Meals planned automatically — and it learns what you actually eat. • Stuck for dinner? Tell it what's in the fridge and how much time you've got; get three good options that fit your day. • Before / during / after fuelling guidance for every big session, plus a weekly shopping list. PLAYS NICELY WITH YOUR KIT • Garmin: export any structured session as a .fit file to follow on your watch or head unit. • Apple Health: workouts from your Apple Watch, Garmin, COROS, Wahoo or Zwift tick off your plan automatically, and sessions count toward your rings. Whether it's your first triathlon or a new PB, Trimate gives you the plan, the coaching and the fuelling — all in one place. TRIMATE PREMIUM • Start with a 7-day free trial, then Ā£12.99 a month or Ā£79.99 a year (US $14.99 / $89.99). Prices vary by country. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm your purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Any unused part of a free trial ends when you subscribe. • Terms of Use: https://trimate.broadai.co.uk/terms • Privacy Policy: https://trimate.broadai.co.uk/privacy
