RunWalkTimer helps you stick to run/walk intervals on race day—on iPhone or Apple Watch. Set your plan (for example 3:00 run / 0:30 walk), tap Start, and follow a large countdown that clearly shows Run or Walk. At every change you can get haptics, audio, or spoken “Run” / “Walk” prompts—so you stay on pace without staring at the screen. Race your way • Full timer on iPhone — Start, Skip, and Stop with a big, glanceable countdown • Full timer on Apple Watch — built for the wrist, including Always On • Phone and Watch sessions run independently — use whichever device fits the workout • Watch works standalone — leave the phone behind if you want Stay on plan • Always starts on Run, then alternates with Walk • Strong haptics for noisy races • Optional audio (respects Silent Mode) • Optional spoken prompts: hear “Run” or “Walk” at each transition • Skip to the next interval or end the workout anytime (with confirmation) Set it up in seconds • Ready-made presets (including 3:00/0:30, 2:00/0:30, 1:30/0:30, 1:00/0:30) • Custom Run and Walk times • Manage presets on iPhone and sync settings to Apple Watch • Edit intervals on Watch with the Digital Crown when you’re idle Built for real races • Color-coded Run (green) and Walk (orange) • HealthKit indoor running workout support so timing stays reliable • Apple Watch complication for one-tap access Simple. Focused. No subscriptions—just a clear run/walk timer when you need it.
