Everyone's Tabata is an interval timer built for real workout routines—not just one global timer for the whole session. Many tabata apps apply the same intervals to an entire workout. That works for simple HIIT, but rehab, strength, and circuit training often need different timing, reps, and sets for each movement. This app lets you define every exercise on its own. ■ WHO IT'S FOR • Rehab and physical-therapy style exercises with precise timing • Home workouts, circuits, and custom HIIT • Trainers and coaches sharing routines with clients • Anyone who wants community-made workout presets • Apple Watch users who want timer control on the wrist ■ APPLE WATCH • Companion Apple Watch app installs with the iPhone app • See phase, remaining time, and pause / resume / end on your Watch • Live heart rate (bpm) during workouts • Start a routine from My Routines on the Watch (wakes the iPhone app in the background if needed) ■ KEY FEATURES • AI routine generation — describe your goal in text or include a workout video link (available after watching a short ad) • Per-exercise prep, work, and relax phases • Different reps and sets for each exercise • Create, edit, and save routines on your device • Clear on-screen cues for current movement, rep, and set • Routine notes with text, reference photos, and workout video links (AI adds reference links from your request) • Import and export routines as JSON • Browse official and shared routine catalogs; download copies to My Routines • Upload your routines after sign-in to share with others • Sign in with Apple, Google, or Kakao • Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese UI ■ HOW TO USE 1. Tap Create routine with AI on the home screen, enter your request, watch the ad, and receive an editable routine. 2. Or tap Create routine to build exercises and intervals manually. 3. Tap Start to run the timer. 4. Open Shared routines to discover and download routines from others. ■ AI ROUTINE NOTES • Generated routines can be edited, saved, and used with the timer. • Workout video URLs in your request are saved as reference video links in the routine description. • AI output is for general fitness assistance only and does not replace medical advice. ■ DISCLAIMER Workout routines and timers are for general fitness assistance only. They do not replace medical diagnosis, treatment, or professional advice. Consult a qualified professional for your health needs. Privacy Policy: https://tabata-server.vercel.app/legal/privacy.html
