Set the timer. Do the work. BareTimer is a bare-essentials workout timer for any sport. No ads, no account, no sign-up, and no internet required. Just open it and go. Most workout timer apps are buried in ads, logins, subscriptions, and clutter you never use. BareTimer is the opposite: a clean, fast gym timer with big readable numbers, clear audio cues, and only the timer modes you actually need. It is a free interval timer, AMRAP timer, EMOM timer, and Tabata timer in one simple app. FIVE WAYS TO TIME A WORKOUT • Countdown: Set the time, hit go, count down to zero. • For Time: Count up to a target. See how long it took, or race a cap. • AMRAP: As Many Rounds As Possible. Set a cap, hit go, work. • EMOM: Every Minute On the Minute, with an audible cue at every interval. • Intervals: Repeating work and rest, a classic Tabata-style interval timer. BUILT FOR THE GYM FLOOR • Big, high-contrast numbers you can read mid-set and across the room. • Distinct beeps for warnings versus transitions, so you never miss a cue. • The screen stays awake while the timer runs. • Choose a timer face you love: Rounded, Heavy, Serif, Digital, Pixel, or Neon. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No account needed. Just download and start. • Works fully offline. No connection required. • Your data stays put. Nothing ever leaves your device. EVERYTHING IS CONFIGURABLE Work, rest, rounds, and sounds, all yours to tweak. A workout timer for CrossFit, boxing, lifting, running, climbing, HIIT, and functional training. Whether you are timing a WOD, a round, or a rest, BareTimer keeps it simple.

Path Map Studio is a standalone local utility for visual path map planning, layout prototyping, and structured layout export. It helps users create, check, reproduce, and compare solvable path-based layouts without placing every path manually. The app is designed for creators, designers, educators, prototype makers, developers, and users who need a visual way to explore path-based map layouts.

Path Map Studio makes this process faster and more structured while keeping the work local on the device. With Path Map Studio, users can: - Generate structured path map layouts - Adjust the number of paths before generation - Check whether a layout can be fully cleared - Reproduce the same layout with seed-based generation - Import reference images to create layout variations - Generate multiple candidates in batches for comparison - Export structured layout files - Copy layout reports for checking and documentation All generated files are created locally by the app and can be exported by the user through the standard iOS share sheet.
