Never lose count of a set or cut a rest short again. TempoReps is a workout and interval timer for strength training, HIIT, gym circuits, and WOD-style sessions: Tempo, EMOM, TABATA, AMRAP, For Time, MIX, Rest, Stopwatch, and Mirror in one focused app. 9 MODES — INCLUDED - TEMPO: Sets x Reps with full tempo control (3-0-X-1 notation). Control eccentric, concentric, and pause phases for strength and muscle work. - EMOM: Every Minute On the Minute with custom intervals and visible round summaries - TABATA: High-intensity interval training with configurable work/rest phases - AMRAP: As Many Rounds As Possible with countdown timer - FOR TIME: Count up with optional time cap and round tracking - MIX: Build custom gym circuits combining work, rest, and any interval type - REST: dedicated rest timer for recovery between sets, attempts, or supersets, with a visible set counter and one-tap reset after each interval - STOPWATCH: Simple stopwatch with centisecond precision - MIRROR: Work at your pace, then let rest mirror your effort with a configurable work-to-rest ratio COMPANION FEATURES INCLUDED - Apple Watch app with all 9 modes on your wrist - Live Activity on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Playback audio with a Settings sound check, queued voice countdowns, and custom haptics FREE — AND IT STAYS FREE All nine timers, the Apple Watch app, the Live Activity, the beep, voice and percussion alerts, the haptics: none of it sits behind a purchase. No account, no ads, no session limit, nothing that expires. The free tier also holds 2 saved configurations and MIX circuits of up to 2 blocks, and whatever you already saved keeps running untouched. WHAT TEMPOREPS PRO ADDS Two things, both about your library. Saved configurations go from 2 to 20, so Monday's tempo work, Thursday's EMOM and your warm-up all sit one tap away. And the 2-block cap on MIX disappears, so a whole circuit — work, rest, AMRAP, back to work — fits into a single saved workout. That is the entire difference: no mode is added, none is taken away. Annual subscription, monthly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Current prices in your currency are listed in the In-App Purchases section of this page and on the Pro screen inside the app. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends; cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HybridWorkoutTimer at none against TempoReps's 6. TempoReps's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
