Workout Timer: Interval HIIT
Tabata, boxing, and climbing
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Open source, pay what you want. Built by one person, with no ads, no tracking, and no accounts, ever. The whole app is free, today and always.
A workout interval timer for Tabata, HIIT, and any work-and-rest routine. Build a timer once, save it, and run it again with one tap. It's free to use. No paywall. No ads. No tracking. No accounts.
What it does:
- Build interval timers with warm-up, work, rest, recovery, and cool-down phases
- Save timers as templates and run them again in one tap
- Audio cues, haptics, and optional voice announcements at every phase change
- Watch the phase, set, and time left on a clear countdown screen
- On iOS, a Live Activity shows your timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
- Keeps running with the screen locked, so the phone can sit in your pocket
Made for any interval discipline:
- Rock climbing: hangboard and fingerboard repeaters (try 7 seconds on, 3 seconds off, for 6 sets), plus campus-board and no-hang protocols
- Boxing, MMA, and martial arts: timed rounds with rest between them
- High-intensity interval training and functional fitness: Tabata, EMOM, and AMRAP
- Running and cycling: sprint and interval training
- Strength and calisthenics: timed sets and supersets
- Yoga, mobility, and stretching: hold each pose for a set time
- Physical therapy and rehab: timed holds and repetitions
- Meditation and breathwork: steady, repeating intervals
If it has a "work for a bit, rest for a bit, repeat" shape, you can build it here.
Your data stays with you. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
Your timers stay on your phone. The only network activity is the check for app updates, which carries no information about you.

Voice Control now activates a timer when you say the name you can see on the row, instead of needing the word "edit" first
Reliability work behind the scenes, so more of the app is checked automatically before every release
