Mariabs · Tabata Timer
Tabata, HIIT and EMOM timer
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Mari is a sharp, minimal interval timer for anyone who trains in rounds — tabata, HIIT, EMOM, circuits, or your own custom intervals.
Set your prepare, work, rest, cycles, blocks, and block-rest durations in seconds. Press the white play button. Mari counts you in, calls out each phase, and chimes the final 3-2-1 of every interval so you can keep your eyes on what you're doing instead of on the screen.
WHAT YOU GET
• Six adjustable parameters: prepare, work, rest, cycles per block, number of blocks, and rest between blocks
• Voice cues for every transition: "Prepare", "Work", "Rest", and "Block complete — get ready for the next"
• Distinct musical chimes per phase, generated on-device, synced with light haptics
• 3-2-1 countdown ticks before each phase change
• Big, monochrome timer dial with a subtle progress ring tinted to the current phase
• Cycle and block progress shown at all times so you always know where you are
• Plays over your music — Spotify, Apple Music, podcasts — and ducks them only when Mari speaks
• Stays awake automatically while a workout is running
• Settings remembered between launches
DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY
The screen is dark, glanceable from across a gym, and built around one button. There are no menus, no levels, no streaks, no badges, no analytics. You configure once, then press play.
PRIVACY
Mari collects nothing. No account. No email. No analytics. No tracking. Your settings stay on your device. The privacy policy is one page; you can read it before you tap install.
NO ADS
Mari has no ads, no in-app purchases, and no premium tier. No account required.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This update is all about reliability:
• If you pause a workout yourself, a brief interruption like a phone call or Siri no longer makes it restart on its own.
• You can now change settings or load a preset right after a workout finishes — no need to tap Reset first.
• Smoother, more dependable Lock Screen Live Activity.
