Pick your work time, rest time, and number of rounds, and Rounds counts you through the whole thing: a "get ready" lead-in, a big countdown you can read from across the room, 3-2-1 ticks before each change, and a distinct sound and vibration on every phase: get ready, work, rest, next round, done. STAYS ON, STAYS ACCURATE The screen stays on for the whole workout, so you can glance at the clock and hear every cue. If you lock the phone or switch apps anyway, Rounds keeps counting and picks up exactly where it should when you come back. Sound cues play while Rounds is on screen.
