Build HIIT, Tabata, EMOM and circuit timers, then train with your eyes off the screen. Voice cues, your own music, Apple Watch. Featured by Apple.
Seconds is an interval timer for HIIT, Tabata, EMOM, circuits and any workout built from timed intervals. It calls each interval out loud, keeps running with the screen off, and runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
Apple has featured it, and Joe Wicks, The Body Coach, has said it is the fitness app he uses more than any other.
BUILD ANY WORKOUT
- Start from a HIIT, Tabata or circuit template, or build a timer from scratch with sets, rounds and intervals of different lengths.
- Chain timers into one compound timer, so a warm-up flows into the main set and then a cool-down.
- Color-code every interval so you know what is coming before the beep.
- Share a timer with a friend in one tap.
HEAR IT, DON'T WATCH IT
- Voice cues call out each interval by name and warn you before the next one starts.
- Beeps and bells are there too if you would rather not be talked at.
- Play your own music, per timer or per interval. Cues duck the music and it comes back up when they are done.
- The timer keeps going in the background while you use other apps or the screen sleeps.
ON THE GYM FLOOR
- A full-screen, color-coded display you can read from across the room, in portrait or landscape. On iPad it uses the whole screen.
- A lock button stops a stray tap from pausing your set.
APPLE WATCH
- Seconds runs on the watch by itself, so the phone can stay in the locker. Timers you build on the phone sync to the wrist, and Quick Intervals builds a basic circuit on the watch itself.
MORE TIMERS
- A stopwatch that marks your best and worst laps.
- A countdown timer with five preset durations (three on Apple Watch).
APPLE HEALTH
- Save workouts and mindful sessions to Health. With a heart rate monitor connected, Seconds reads your body measurements and year of birth from Health to estimate calories burned.
FREE TO TRY, ONE PAYMENT TO UNLOCK
- Everything is available from the first launch. Build any timer and run it.
- Each timer locks after you run it once. A single in-app purchase removes the lock on every timer you make.
SECONDS AND SECONDS PRO
- Seconds Pro is the same app, paid once up front, with nothing to unlock. The two are separate products and a purchase in one does not carry over to the other. If you bought Seconds Pro, download Seconds Pro. If you bought the unlock in Seconds, download Seconds and use Restore Purchases.
Mostly i just love that this app lets me basically do whatever i want with it. I can easily create my own routine. But the five star rating is because I really love that they allow you to purchase the app for a one-time fee (which is actually very affordable). I basically rule out any app that is a subscription because if i like the app then i can’t imagine paying a subscription for it indefinitely. I like to have a simple app that i can own forever. I really hope they don’t take away the ability to purchase the app for a one time fee. Like i said, i genuinely stay away from subscriptions. I have shared this app with multiple people who have also purchased it because they loved that it was a one-time fee. Im also more willing to take a chance and pay a one-time fee on an app that i possibly wont use, than to sign up for a subscription based app. If i was being super critical i might deduct a star because i don’t know why it doesn’t show my heart rate in the timer when i use it on my apple watch. The heart rate portion just shows “N/A”. Maybe my apple watch is old or something? I can’t figure it out. But i didn’t actually deduct a star because if i cared enough then i could try and contact the company for help, but i haven’t felt like it so that’s sorta on me. All things considered, it’s a great app and i always suggest it to people who are looking for something like it!!
Highly recommend.

As someone else’s review mentions, this is timer app very versatile. You can have a simple timer or extremely complex. I love this aspect. Sometimes I want a little less structured workout so I’ll just use one I created that has 45 seconds intervals with a simple beep. Others occasions I want structure so I created timers that announce each movement (20 sumo squats, 20 dead bugs , etc) with the text-to-speech option. You can split the interval and add a pause between the split. The default is left and right but even this is customizable. You can change the alerts for intervals to be a single beep, long beep, multiple beeps, various gongs, text-to-speech with or without a countdown, with a warning of what the upcoming interval, vibrations or no sounds. You can select from 10 colors to assign to intervals and timers. I can listen to an audiobook or Pandora while using this app and at whatever time I’ve selected it will lower the volume and play whatever alert style I’ve selected. You can duplicate timers which I do when I want to use the structure of one and just make some modifications but keep the other one. You can cut, copy, & paste exercises/intervals. You can organize timers into folders and organize/ re-order them. I use this app for strength training, cardio, stretching, and even studying (using the pomodoro technique). The app provides a few sample timers and one that does a great job of illustrating what you can do. I tried a few timers before I found this one. I used the free version to give it a try and I am so happy I did. Now this is the only timer I use and the only one I would recommend.
Does a great job

Overal I am very happy with this app. It is a nice, simple interval timer, I have used it to make workouts for running, strength training, and others. It is a one time fee, as opposed to a monthly fee like the others, seriously being able to actually own an app for once is nice! Customizing each move is nice, and you have helpful options such as splitting the move for each side (such as lunging on the right then on the left) and having a break in between each side. I also love the different options for signaling the next move, although to me they are all kind of annoying except for the single beep. But you can have it tell you what move it is with an ai voice if you want.It is a little hard to figure out at first. You can’t add a move in in between two others, you can only copy and paste. So I just have to copy something and paste it in and edit it to what I want it to say. Also if you just hit paste , it goes to the bottom. If you want it after a certain move, you have to long press it then paste. It copies whatever is selected, so if you forget to unselect something, it pastes it too. The thing I really would like to have changed though, is the ability to change multiple things at once. I would love it if I could select several moves and change the color for all of them, or the time for all, instead of one at a time. Other than that, I think this app is fine, just takes some practice.
Super Versatile!

Amazing app! Extremely versatile. I had this one complex circuit, and I was like, “how am I gonna be able to do this with this app”. I was thinking it’d be long and tedious and not even perfectly correct. I thought I was right, but then I discovered the compound timer and the ability to copy and past exercises!!! Just when I thought I’d reached the limit with this app, I discovered an awesome functionality that makes things sooo much easier. It’s such a cheap price to get the whole thing unlocked considering how amazingly versatile and easy to use this app is. Sooooo worth it. The only little issue I have with it is that sometimes the timer sound glitches. So for example, like sometimes when the time for rest is down to just 3 secs, it does the 3 second countdown (which is great cause it acts as a warning and gets you ready), but sometimes it’ll start glitching out so there might be one beep then no more until the times up then you get one irky prolonged beep. It’s just a minor issue that only happens sometimes with me, but it just throws me off a little in my workout. Of course, that’s just me. Other than that, Amazing app!!!! Totally recommend!
