Interval Timer is a simple, colorful workout timer for HIIT, Tabata, circuit training, boxing rounds and any workout built from rounds of work and rest, on your phone and on your Apple Watch. It times every round, keeps every workout, and turns it into a card you can share. No account and no sign-up needed. Set your series, train time and rest time, then press start. Big numbers and a full-screen color for every phase mean you can read the timer from across the room, mid-burpee, without reaching for your glasses. TRACK AND SHARE EVERY WORKOUT - See your run or ride on a real map, the route painted in the color of each interval - Distance, pace, average and max speed, and steps for the whole workout - Every interval on its own: heart rate, speed and pace for each sprint and each rest - Your week and month at a glance in the Activity tab, with your training streak - Share a workout as a card for your story: over your photo, over the map, or live from the camera - Finished workouts go to Apple Health BUILD ANY WORKOUT - Repeat blocks you can nest, for rounds within rounds - Custom phases, each with its own name, color, sound and vibration - Distance phases: run 400 m instead of 2 minutes - Drag and drop to reorder phases, blocks and saved timers - Save workouts as presets and start them in one tap - Share a timer with a friend through a link or a QR code TRAIN WITH THE SCREEN OFF A colored notification keeps counting while the phone is in your pocket: current phase, time remaining, and quick pause, stop and skip controls, with a heads-up alert at every phase change. Nothing stops when the screen does. A REAL WEAR OS APP Not a remote control. Build and run interval timers on the watch itself, with heart rate, calories and GPS distance on your wrist, an ongoing activity on your watch face and a vibration at every phase change, so you can train with your phone at home. Workouts from the watch land in your history on the phone. MADE FOR - HIIT and Tabata workouts - Circuit training and CrossFit style WODs - EMOM and AMRAP rounds - Boxing, MMA and jump rope rounds - Running, track and cycling intervals - Kettlebell, dumbbell and bodyweight sets - Stretching, mobility and yoga holds - Physio and rehabilitation exercises - Pomodoro study and focus sessions ONE TIMER, EVERY SPORT As a HIIT timer it counts work and rest for you so you never check the clock mid-round. As a Tabata timer the classic 20/10 for eight rounds is two taps away. As a boxing round timer it calls three-minute rounds with a minute between them. As a running interval timer it counts your sprints and recoveries, or the meters, and shows each one on the map afterwards. Keep training with the screen off: the timer keeps running in the background and alerts you at every phase change. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Shared cards leave out the first and last 200 m of a route, so they never show where you live. Your routes are never sold, never used for ads and never used to train AI. FREE TO START, PRO WHEN YOU WANT MORE The timer is free to use. Interval Timer Pro removes the ads, saves unlimited timers (the free plan keeps up to 3), and backs up your timers, history and personal sounds to every device you use. It also supports an independent developer.

Logging Indian food in a calorie app is miserable. The database has one generic entry for "chicken curry" and nothing for the way you actually cook it. There's no weight for a katori of dal, no way to say the roti was made with ghee, and nothing at all for half the regional dishes you eat every week. So you guess, get it wrong, and stop logging by Thursday. MasalaMetrics reads the plate instead. WHAT IT DOES Scan to log Photograph a meal and get a nutrition breakdown in seconds — item by item, so a thali comes back as its separate components rather than one lump. Check the estimate, fix the portion if it's off, save. Takes about as long as washing your hands before you eat. Built for how this food is actually served Mixed gravies, shared serving bowls, rice-and-curry combinations, a stack of rotis for the table. The app is built around meals like these, not around a single grilled chicken breast on a plate. A target built for your body Enter age, gender, height, weight and how active you are. MasalaMetrics calculates your daily energy and macronutrient targets using standard nutrition formulas, rather than handing everyone the same number. Balance, not just intake With your permission, MasalaMetrics reads active energy and workouts from Apple Health, so your remaining calories reflect what you actually burned that day. Log meals back to Health as dietary energy if you want your other apps to see them. Your history, kept Meals sync to your account, so a new phone doesn't mean starting over. Review any day, see how the week trended, and notice the patterns you'd otherwise miss. PRIVACY Your body profile stays on your device. Age, gender, height, weight, activity level and your calculated targets are stored on your iPhone and never sent to us. Health data stays on your device. Data read from Apple Health is processed locally, never uploaded to our servers, and never used for advertising or marketing. Your food log syncs to your account so you keep it across devices, readable only by you. Delete your account from Settings at any time and your history goes with it. IMPORTANT MasalaMetrics is a general wellness and food tracking tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Nutrition figures produced from a photograph are estimates and can be wrong — do not rely on them for insulin dosing, allergen avoidance, or any decision where accuracy matters clinically.
