Read full descriptionHide full description
The complete gym timer. Free, really free. Gym Timer Pro is a Tabata, EMOM, AMRAP and interval timer built for people who actually train. No ads. No account. No subscription. No feature locked behind a paywall. Every timer, every setting, free forever. EVERY FORMAT YOU ACTUALLY USE • Tabata: 20/10 x 8, or set your own work and rest • EMOM: every minute on the minute, any number of rounds • AMRAP: as many rounds as possible, with a running clock • Interval Timer: any work, any rest, any number of rounds • Round Timer: your own interval, repeated as many times as you like • Lifting Pro: warm-up, training with one-tap rest presets, and cool-down in one flow • Stretch Timer: quick stretch presets for before and after READABLE FROM ACROSS THE GYM A single full-screen ring and a huge remaining-time number. Round markers show where you are at a glance, so you never break form squinting at your phone. The clock scales up on iPad. LIGHT OR DARK Pick Light, Dark or System in Settings, and choose your own accent color. BUILT FOR A REAL SESSION • Save any timer as a preset and launch it in one tap from Saved Timers • Audio cues play alongside your music without stopping or lowering it • Leaving a running timer asks first, so you never lose a workout by accident • Type any time down to the second instead of fighting a picker EVERY WORKOUT, LOGGED History shows every session you finish. The Tracker adds a day streak, a 30-day activity graph, a monthly time goal and a full calendar view. Export it all to a spreadsheet whenever you like. APPLE HEALTH Finished workouts save to Apple Health, so your rings and training log stay honest. Gym Timer Pro only writes to Health; it never reads your health data. SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES iCloud sync is on by default. Build a preset on your iPhone and it's on your iPad before you get to the rack. iPhone and iPad. iOS 17 and later. No account needed: nothing to sign up for, nothing to cancel. Questions or a feature request? Get in touch from Settings. A real person reads every message.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gym Timer Pro at none against RoundShift's 1. RoundShift's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
