Universal Sports Timer is a clean, powerful interval timer built for athletes, coaches, trainers, and anyone who needs a flexible sports timer without a cluttered screen. The app focuses on one thing: keeping the main timer big, clear, and easy to read. Controls stay minimal and out of the way, so you can focus on the time, the current phase, and your workout progress. Tap the timer when you need actions like start, pause, resume, restart, or stop. Create highly customisable interval workouts with prepare time, work time, rest time, rounds, sets, set breaks, cooldowns, and custom exercise names. Start quickly with built-in presets like Tabata, Full Body HIIT, Boxing, EMOM, and AMRAP, or build your own timer for any sport, drill, class, or training routine. Universal Sports Timer supports iPhone, macOS, and Apple Watch. Use your iPhone for training, your Mac as a large visible timer for coaching or group sessions, and your Apple Watch to view progress or control active timers from your wrist.
