Setlap
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tap a routine. Put the phone down. Move. Setlap is an interval timer for people who train alone. The whole screen changes color for work and rest, the numbers are big enough to read from the floor, and sound and vibration tell you when to switch β so you never have to touch the screen mid-set. β One tap to start Tabata, HIIT 40/20, EMOM, Circuit and Boxing are ready on first launch. Tap a row and the timer runs. No setup screen in between. β Boxing and MMA rounds The Boxing preset runs six 3-minute rounds with 1-minute rest. For MMA, Muay Thai or BJJ, change the work time, rest time and number of sets. Choose the Bell sound set for a bell-like cue. β Build as many routines as you want Prepare, work, rest, sets, rounds, rest between rounds and cooldown. Duplicate, reorder and edit freely. There is no limit on the number of routines. β You don't need to look Orange means work. Bone white means rest. Blue means the long rest between rounds. A three-two-one beep counts down the end of every interval, with matching vibration. β Keeps going with the screen locked Lock the phone or switch apps and the cues keep sounding. The current interval and the time left stay on your lock screen. β Plays nicely with your music Your music keeps playing. Setlap lowers it only for the moment a cue sounds, then brings it back. You can turn that off. β Three sound sets Clean, Wood and Bell. Pick the one you can hear over your playlist. β Simple controls Pause, previous interval, next interval. Hold to end, so a sweaty thumb can't stop your workout by accident. β Privacy Your routines and settings are stored only on your device. There is no account and no sign-up. Setlap is free and supported by ads. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no locked features and no usage limits. A banner sits at the top of the workout screen, away from the controls, and there are no pop-up ads that interrupt a workout. Cue sounds play even when the silent switch is on, so you don't miss an interval. Use the volume buttons to adjust them. Setlap is a timer. It does not give medical or training advice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Kind Timer at none against Setlap's shown. Kind Timer also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
