Stay focused on your form, not your phone. Pilates Timer is a simple, elegant interval timer designed specifically for mat Pilates and floor workouts. Run your workouts from Apple Watch with haptic alerts—you'll always know when to transition without breaking your flow. REQUIRES APPLE WATCH This app is designed to be used with Apple Watch. Create and manage routines on your iPhone, then run hands-free workouts from your wrist. The Watch app delivers haptic alerts so you can focus entirely on your practice. KEY FEATURES • Hands-Free Workouts on Apple Watch Start workouts directly from your wrist. Large countdown display shows the current exercise name, and haptic taps alert you before each transition—no need to look at any screen. • Pre-Built Routines Start immediately with 6 classic Pilates routines: Classical Mat, Reformer-Inspired, Athletic Mat, Flow & Stretch, Core + Mobility, and Power Mat. • Custom Intervals Build your own routines with named intervals. "Pelvic Curl" for 4 minutes, "Rolling Like a Ball" for 3 minutes—you name it. • 10-Second Haptic Warning Feel a gentle tap on your wrist before each interval ends. Finish your reps and prepare for the next exercise without watching the clock. • iCloud Sync Your routines sync automatically between iPhone and Apple Watch. • Share Routines Send your favorite routines to friends, students, or clients via AirDrop, Messages, or any sharing method. • Workout History Track completed sessions and see your progress over time. DESIGNED FOR PILATES Unlike generic interval timers, Pilates Timer understands your workout. Named intervals mean you see "Single Leg Circle" on your watch—not just a number. The dark interface won't distract during practice, and the screen stays awake so you never miss a cue. Whether you're a Pilates instructor timing classes or a practitioner flowing through mat sequences at home, Pilates Timer keeps you moving.
