One list. One Start. Zero fiddling. Routine Timer runs your stretching, warm-up, or home workout sequence for you. Write your routine once — each step with its own duration — then press Start. Every timer counts down and moves to the next step automatically, so your hands stay free and your focus stays on the movement. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • No accounts, no subscriptions, no social feed. Your routines live on your device. • A countdown you can read from across the room — huge digits, built for arm's-length use. • Rest steps in one tap, dimmed so you always know work from rest at a glance. BUILT FOR FLOW • Auto-advance: steps chain together with a gentle beep and haptic 3 seconds before each transition. • Pause, resume, or skip any step mid-session. • A segmented progress bar shows exactly where you are in the routine. • Screen stays awake while a routine is running. • Option to play cues even when your phone is on silent. EFFORTLESS EDITING • Add steps as fast as you can type — durations carry over from the previous step. • One-tap "+Rest" chip between exercises. • Drag to reorder, swipe to duplicate or delete. • Total routine time updates live as you edit. A QUIET KIND OF POLISH • 8 minimal themes, from pure black to soft pastels. • A small fireworks celebration when you finish a routine — then it gets out of your way. FREE, WITH AN HONEST DEAL The app is free with a small banner on the list and edit screens only — never during a running routine. A single one-time purchase removes all ads forever. No subscriptions. Perfect for stretching, mobility work, physical therapy exercises, morning routines, interval training, meditation breathing, and cooking steps. Press Start. The rest is automatic.
