Round Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stop fumbling with complicated timers and start your workout in seconds. Get clear interval cues, a big easy-to-read countdown, and a round timer that keeps pace without breaking your flow. Round Timer: HIIT & Tabata helps you start, run, and track interval workouts on iPhone. Built for people who want to drop the phone, glance once, and keep moving, this HIIT timer focuses on quick starts and clear feedback. The GO card always launches your most recent workout, so your usual Tabata timer or interval timer is never more than one tap away. When a workout is running, the Live Activity and Lock Screen card keep the current phase, time left, and controls in view, and you can pause, skip, or stop from there. If you train with music, voice cues speak over your audio and then your music returns to normal volume. That makes it handy for Tabata abs while watching TV, sprint repeats at the track, or boxing rounds in the gym. • Start your last workout instantly from the GO card on Quick Start. • Pick from built-in presets including Classic Tabata, Beginner HIIT, EMOM 10, AMRAP 20, Boxing Rounds, and Sprint Intervals. • Build custom workouts with your own work, rest, rounds, get ready, and cooldown times. • Choose a protocol like Tabata, HIIT, EMOM, AMRAP, Circuit, Rounds, Sprint, or Custom. • Add per-round labels so voice cues can say Burpees or Push-ups instead of a generic work prompt. • See a giant full-screen countdown with color changes for work, rest, prep, cooldown, and finish. • Keep the next step in view with the UP NEXT preview and the round counter. • Control a session with large Restart, Play or Pause, and Skip buttons. • Let a saved workout start a playlist from your music library automatically and stop it when the workout ends. • Keep cues going when the screen locks, with optional haptics on every phase change. • Check History for this week, total time, streak, and session details, then share or delete a session. • Start from Home Screen, Lock Screen, Control Center, or a shortcut for even faster access. It fits real training moments. Start Classic Tabata for a quick core set, throw together a Circuit for class, run EMOM 10 in a garage gym, use Sprint Intervals for repeats, or keep Boxing Rounds visible from across the room. If you want one clean workout record instead of a pile of tiny entries, Pro can save each completed session to Apple Health as a single workout. The free version lets you save up to 3 custom workouts. Pro removes that limit and adds Apple Health saving for completed sessions. Music access is only needed if you want to play a playlist from your library, and Health access is only needed if you choose to save workouts there. Pick a preset, tap GO, and turn your iPhone into a clear, dependable HIIT timer for Tabata, EMOM, AMRAP, boxing rounds, and more.

Feint Interval Trainer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Train by the clock, not against it. Feint is a round and interval timer for people who actually train — fighters, lifters, runners — built to be reliable, customizable, and equally at home on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Randomize your interval lengths to maximize output and effort — no more easing off as you get close to the end of a round. WHY FEINT • Timing you can trust — the timer is anchored to the wall clock, so it stays accurate even when your phone locks or backgrounds. It never drifts, and your rounds end exactly when they should. • Tackle psychology — intervals can be randomized so you don't start easing off knowing you're nearing the end of a round. Maximum effort from beginning to end. • It lives on your wrist — independent Apple Watch companion, not a mirror. It runs your workout with a haptic cue for every transition and counts as a real workout toward your activity rings. • Controls without unlocking — a Live Activity puts a running countdown and a play/pause control on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Workouts built your way — compose sessions from labeled phases, each with its own color, duration, and audio cue. Choose a fixed number of rounds, a target duration, or a continuous session. Add a "Get Ready" countdown, tune the beep tone and waveform, and set a backdrop per profile. • Audio you can hear over your music — crisp synthesized cues that can duck your music or podcast just enough to be heard, and keep firing while the screen is off. • See your progress — a streak calendar and weekly-volume charts turn finished sessions into momentum, including the ones you ran on the watch. • Yours, and private — everything stays on your device. No accounts, no tracking, nothing collected. Share a profile with a training partner as a simple file whenever you want. BUILT FOR Boxing and kickboxing rounds · BJJ and grappling rolls · HIIT and Tabata circuits · running and rowing intervals · HEMA / sword drills · and anyone who trains in timed rounds. PRICING Try every built-in workout for free. A one-time unlock — Feint Pro, no subscription — opens up custom profiles and the Apple Watch app.
