Stop fumbling with a stopwatch mid-set. PhaseKit builds interval routines that hold their shape through an actual workout, breathwork session, mobility flow, or study block — then brings back the one you need in seconds. Create custom sequences, group steps into repeatable rounds, save routines you'll reuse, and jump straight into any saved timer without rebuilding it from scratch. Key features: • Ready-to-run templates: Tabata, 30/30 intervals, box breathing, and focus sessions • Build custom interval sequences with grouped steps • Save and reuse routines for workouts, breathwork, mobility, or study blocks • Start from any timer in a routine, not just the first • Spoken 3-2-1 countdown and a gong between steps • Timers from one second up to 24 hours • iCloud sync for saved routines across your devices • Available in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Hindi, and Thai • No account required • No third-party ads or analytics Core timer building, playback, grouping, and saved routines are completely free. An optional one-time Support Developer purchase unlocks cosmetic app color customization and helps fund ongoing development — it's not a subscription, and it never limits the free features. Customers who bought the paid version of PhaseKit before it became free keep the supporter unlock automatically.

How close are you to your best self? Find out in 60 seconds. Cima assesses your discipline, body, mind and confidence and gives you your Cima Score: a 0–100 number that marks your starting point. From there, the climb begins. HOW IT WORKS • Take the initial test and reveal your score • Get a personalized daily plan: concrete quests for every dimension • Complete quests, earn points, keep your streak alive • Your score rises slowly, with effort — like a real mountain • Advance through camps: Base, Camp I, II, III… up to The Summit REAL QUESTS, NOT THEORY Wake up early. Train. Read. Put the phone down. Talk to someone new. 50+ quests that rotate daily and adapt to your level: the higher you climb, the harder the plan gets. YOUR PROGRESS, MEASURED • Week-by-week score chart • Streaks and personal records • Achievements to unlock (some secret) • Share your climb card with your real progress BUILT FOR CONSISTENCY One reminder in the morning when your plan is ready, and one at night only if you still have quests left. No spam. No guilt. Just the climb. The initial assessment and your Cima Score are free. Cima Pro, an auto-renewable subscription, unlocks the rest of the app: your personalized daily plan, your challenges, your progress, your score, and your streak. It's offered as an annual plan (with a 3-day free trial) or weekly, and prices are shown in the app before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple account, and the subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, from your account settings.
