YAT Free is a timer app designed to make it fast and easy to create customized timed routines for any purpose. YAT Free has a clean, intuitive, and generalized design, making it a versitile app for multiple uses. Create timed routines for exercise, yoga, cooking, presentations, massage, art modelling, meditation, gaming - whatever your needs happen to be. Routines consist of any number of steps, each of which includes any number of repetitions. "Break" steps divide a routine into sections, where each section is started manually by pressing the "Start" button when you are ready. YAT Free includes a stopwatch with a novel "Repeated Trials Mode" option, which is designed for timing something multiple times and automatically calculating the average (for a more accurate or representative result). For further utility, YAT Free also includes a clock with large digits (for easy reading at a distance) and an optional ticking sound. YAT Free Features: - can (optionally) read step titles aloud at the beginning of each step - configurable time for transitioning between steps - choose color and fonts to suit your taste - 42 alert sounds to choose from - multiple vibration patterns to choose from - light and dark themes, to fit the room lighting - runs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (iOS 9.0+) - portrait and landscape support A paid version of YAT is also available, if you would prefer an ad-free experience or you wish to support the developer..
