Most timers count to zero. FulwaveTimer runs your whole routine β built from stages, each with its own length, color, and most important sound. Intervals, Pomodoro focus blocks, breathing exercises, a speech you're rehearsing, a sleep wind-down: set the structure once, press play, and follow along by sound, on your Lock Screen, or from your wrist. BUILD IT YOUR WAY β’ Multistage timers β add as many stages as you like, each with its own duration and color. β’ Per-stage sound β play an audio track you own, or have the app read text aloud with a voice and speed you choose. β’ Independent transitions β set how each stage's audio starts and ends on its own: Cut, Fade, or Crossfade into the next stage. β’ Per-stage haptics and alert tones, plus a spoken 10-second warning or 3-2-1 countdown. β’ Repeat a single stage, or loop the whole playlist β perfect for HIIT rounds, Pomodoro cycles, and breathing sets. β’ Start fast from built-in templates: Pomodoro, HIIT, Box Breathing, Meditation, and more. ON-SCREEN TEXT FOR SPEECHES β’ Show a stage's text on the Player and scroll it in time with the reading β a simple teleprompter for practicing a talk. VOICE-OVERS, IN YOUR VOICE β’ A session can carry its spoken words as text rather than baked-in audio, so your device reads them over the stage's music in any voice you have installed β including another language. β’ Set the voice and the speed, or turn speaking off and read along on screen. Yours to adjust even in a locked session. STAY IN CONTROL, EVERYWHERE β’ Live Activity and Dynamic Island show your session on the Lock Screen with a glanceable countdown. β’ A Quick Start Home Screen widget launches a playlist with one tap. β’ On-time stage notifications announce each new stage by name. β’ Lock Screen and headphone controls to play, pause, and skip. APPLE WATCH + APPLE HEALTH β’ A live timer on your wrist with stage, countdown, and controls. β’ Record your session as a workout in Apple Health β with heart rate, active energy, and the workout type you set on the playlist. β’ Wrist haptics fire at every stage change, even with the screen off. YOUR LIBRARY, SAFE AND IN SYNC β’ iCloud keeps your playlists in sync across your devices, privately. β’ Color-tag playlists to organize your library. β’ Export and import playlists. β’ Automatic backups with one-tap restore β the newest also kept in your own iCloud account, so it survives a reinstall. β’ A shared session puts its own audio back on your other devices, or after a reinstall. MADE TO FIT YOU β’ Custom accent, background, and text colors; Dynamic Type and VoiceOver throughout. β’ Design your Player: movable widgets, eight clock styles. β’ A simplified Playback-Only view when you just want to press play. β’ Works on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. FULWAVE PRO FulwaveTimer is free to use, and keeps a small library at no cost. Fulwave Pro unlocks an unlimited playlist library and session export. Pro is available as a monthly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase. SHARE COMPLETE SESSIONS Bundle a playlist together with its audio into a single .fws session file and share it. Anyone can open and play a session they receive; Fulwave Pro keeps imported sessions in your library permanently. FULWAVE DESIGNER FOR MAC Fulwave Designer is a free companion app on the Mac App Store. Build a session on a big screen: layer several audio tracks and spoken-text cues on a single stage, set each layer's start delay, gain, and pan, choose haptics and stage colors, add session artwork, and audition it all on a transport. Export a .fws session β optionally locked, so it plays exactly as you built it β to play or share here. Sessions you receive open and play for free; Fulwave Pro keeps them in your library. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Your data stays on your devices.
