HIIT Timer & Trainer is a fast, no-nonsense interval timer for HIIT, Tabata, circuits, stretching, and anything else built around "do X seconds, rest Y seconds, repeat N times." On iPhone and Apple Watch ā now with a 12-week home workout plan and a stretching plan. WORKOUT PLAN ⢠A 12-week home plan: strength circuits, intervals and easy days, getting a little harder every few weeks. ⢠Every move explained in plain words ā no jargon, no guessing. "12 times", "each leg", "hold 30 seconds". ⢠Strength moves wait for you to tap DONE; intervals have their own hard and easy tones and haptics. ⢠Track your weekly weight and monthly waist alongside the plan. ⢠Personal Plan (one-time purchase): answer six quick questions and get a plan built around your goal, your days and your time ā then change any of it by hand, including knee-friendly moves. FLEXIBILITY PLAN ā NEW ⢠A second 12-week plan: daily stretching, about 15 minutes, to touch your toes again and squat deep with heels down. CIRCUITS ⢠Comes with a ready-made Full Body circuit ā try it, then build your own. ⢠Build your own workout: named exercises, each with its own duration, repeated over rounds. ⢠HIIT Timer & Trainer calls out every exercise ā "Squats", "Plank" ā so you never have to look at the screen. ⢠Optional warm-up and cool-down phases bookend any workout, circuits and classic sets alike. LOCK SCREEN & DYNAMIC ISLAND ⢠Your running timer lives on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: current exercise, set counter, and remaining time at a glance. iPHONE ⢠Three things on the screen: sets, exercise duration, rest duration. Plus or minus to dial each one. Long-press +/ā to auto-repeat. ⢠Five preset slots ā four built-in (8Ć20/10, 6Ć40/20, 5Ć1m/15, 4Ć3m/1m) and one fully customisable. ⢠Audio cues that actually help: a rising-pitch tick every second, a higher beep every 5 seconds, plus a voice announcement on a configurable interval ("3 minutes 20 seconds remaining"). Off, every 10s, or every 30s. ⢠Pause / resume / stop, with a clear "next phase" hint so you always know what's coming. ⢠Set rest to 0 for self-paced circuits ā HIIT Timer & Trainer waits for you to tap CONTINUE before the next set. ⢠Keeps running when the screen is locked, audio coming through your speaker or headphones. ⢠Siri and Shortcuts: say "Start a HIIT Timer & Trainer workout" ā works from the Action Button too. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS ⢠A monthly calendar marks every day you finished a workout. ⢠Streaks, a 12-week trend chart, and 15 achievements to unlock. ⢠Home Screen widget with your current streak and this week's workouts. ⢠Optional daily reminder at your chosen time ā it knows your streak and what's at stake. ⢠iCloud sync: progress and achievements follow you across your devices. ⢠Apple Health: finished sessions can be saved as HIIT workouts. Off by default. APPLE WATCH ⢠Start, pause, and stop workouts from your wrist ā no need to fish your phone out mid-set. ⢠Workouts finished on the watch count on your iPhone calendar too. ⢠Voice announcements over AirPods. ⢠Haptic cues every 5 seconds and on phase transitions, so you can train without headphones and still feel the cadence. FREE, WITH TWO OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PURCHASES The timer, the built-in presets, the calendar, the Apple Watch app and reading the plans are free. No subscription, ever. Two optional one-time purchases: ⢠Your Presets & Circuits ā save your own presets and build your own circuits. ⢠Your Training Plans ā run the 12-week and stretching plans, get a plan made for you, edit it by hand. PRIVACY No accounts. No analytics. No ads. Your settings, plan and workout history live on your devices and in your own iCloud ā nowhere else. Apple Health is written only if you switch it on, and never read. WHY HIIT Timer & Trainer Most workout apps want a subscription and your data. HIIT Timer & Trainer wants neither. Open it, dial in the workout ā or follow the plan ā hit START, train, close it.
