Most interval timers are ugly. This one isn't. Set your work interval, your rest interval, how many rounds. Tap GO. That is the whole setup. Then put the phone down. The screen becomes one colour and one number, big enough to read from across the room, and the colour flips at every work/rest boundary - so you always know which side you are on without walking over to look. Build your own sequences interval by interval: ladders, pyramids, EMOMs, warm-ups. Drag to reorder, tap to edit, save them as presets. Ladder, Pyramid, Tabata and EMOM 10 come built in. Make it yours with eight colour themes, a Minimal mode, and twelve languages for the count. - Runs in the background with the screen off - Audio cues at every interval - Get-ready countdown - Hold to pause, tap to resume - Ducks under your music - Works offline
