Read full descriptionHide full description
Timme is the timer for every session: HIIT training, HYROX race preparation, weightlifting, deep-focus Pomodoro sessions, and any routine you build yourself. Run intervals, time functional-fitness workouts, track your sets and rest, or focus without distractions. Timme stays clear at a glance, gives you audible cues, and keeps timing reliable while your iPhone is locked. HIIT AND INTERVAL TRAINING Start a Tabata, EMOM, AMRAP, Pyramid, boxing-round, run/walk, or custom interval timer in seconds. Choose from 126 guided WODs with exercise names shown during every work interval, covering strength, cardio, mobility, core, recovery, equipment, and beginner sessions. Twenty-one starter WODs are free. HYBRID RACE TRAINING Get ready for your next HYROX race with Timmeβs independent Hybrid Race pack. It includes six run-and-station workouts, including a free full simulation with timed transitions. Timme is not affiliated with or endorsed by HYROX. WEIGHTLIFTING Use Weightlifting mode for focused set and rest timing in the gym. Start quickly with simple set/rest timing, or build an Advanced plan with exercises and target sets. Follow the session on iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch. APPLE HEALTH Timme uses HealthKit. On Apple Watch, your timer keeps running and tapping your wrist with your wrist down, and shows live heart rate and active calories from Apple Health. For workouts started on iPhone and mirrored to the Watch, the same live metrics appear in the timer on iPhone, for interval timers and Weightlifting. Completed workouts are saved to Apple Health when the Workouts permission is on in Health; after an early stop, you choose whether to save. Requires Timme Pro and a paired Apple Watch. YOUR TIMER, YOUR SESSION Use Pomodoro for deep-focus sessions, or create a custom timer for any routine. Get voice cues in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian while your music keeps playing. Follow workouts from Apple Watch, Live Activity, or Dynamic Island. Sync saved workouts with iCloud and share completed sessions as polished image cards. Timme has no ads and requires no account. Anonymous product-interaction counters can be disabled in Settings. PRO Pro unlocks Apple Watch, Live Activity, iCloud sync, the full guided WOD library, sound packs, and color themes. New subscribers to the monthly or yearly plan get Pro free for 1 week; cancel anytime before it ends and you pay nothing.

Kronos Studio
Read full descriptionHide full description
Real strength workouts, written for the gear you've got and the 30 minutes you have. Open Kronos and today's session is ready: exercises, sets and the weights filled in, built for the equipment in front of you and the minutes you named. Different every time, shaped to your gear, your time, and how you actually feel today. You don't need more motivation. You need fewer decisions. IT ALREADY KNOWS β’ It already knows what's at your gym. β’ It already knows you only have 20 minutes. β’ It already knows you skipped Tuesday. β’ It already knows you hated lunges last time. β’ It already knows you've done legs twice this week. So you don't have to. HOW ONE TAP WORKS BUILT AROUND YOUR ACTUAL GEAR. A pair of dumbbells, a full gym, or nothing at all: tell Kronos what you have and it never writes a workout that needs a cable machine someone else is on. It fills in the weight, too, instead of leaving you a blank. HOTEL ROOM? HOTEL WORKOUT. Save your spots: gym, home, hotel, the park. Switch in one tap and the workout reshapes itself. Flag an injury once and it plans around that too. SWIPE EXERCISES, NOT EX'S. Love it, like it, meh, never again. Every swipe trains the next workout. PROGRAMS THAT BEND. Seventeen programs, 2 to 8 weeks each, written for your gear and shaped to your week instead of the other way round. The first session of every one is free. Any day you'd rather not be on one, build a single session instead. TRAIN WITH YOUR CREW Start a challenge, drop the code in the group chat, and every finished day puts your name on the Wall beside theirs. Pick a shape: a daily target, a ladder, a weekly max test, or just show up. Wildcards cover a missed day, streaks carry, and nobody gets a notification about your rest day. It's the part that makes people keep going, and it isn't a leaderboard for strangers. It's five people you already know. A BIG CALM TIMER We tell you what's next; you just lift. No tapping mid-set. Then swipe: right to keep, left for never again. Benchmarks are in there too. Cindy, Murph, and 42 more, each one scaled to the kit you actually own instead of the kit the workout assumed. LOGGING, WHEN YOU WANT IT Log a set if you want the number. Skip it if you don't. Your week, your lifts, and your history are there when you go looking, and never the price of getting a workout. PLUS A FREE INTERVAL TIMER. ACTUALLY FREE. HIIT, Tabata, EMOM, AMRAP, plus full custom intervals. Save unlimited presets. The screen stays awake, the cues mix over your music, and there are no ads. No account needed, no "Pro timer" upsell. Not now, not ever. WHAT WE BELIEVE Variety beats optimization. Constraints are features. Decisions are willpower taxes. Today's mood matters. Adherence beats intensity. Fun is a strategy. A B+ workout four days a week beats an A+ workout once. Every time. KRONOS PRO Free is the interval timer, forever, plus five workouts written for your gear and the first session of every program. Pro is the rest: a new workout every day you open the app, every session of all 17 programs, your whole history scored, up to 10 challenges at once, and crew insights. Prices are shown in the app and may vary by region. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms: https://getkronos.app/terms Privacy: https://getkronos.app/privacy Most fitness apps make you a workout plan. Kronos makes you a person who works out. The best workout is the one you'll actually do.
