About the workout timer
A timer for the whole session. Press Start for a 30-minute block — a gym session, a run, a stretching routine or a cooldown — or tap a programme for rounds: Tabata, HIIT, EMOM, intervals, or a circuit of named exercises, each with its own time.
Free workout timer for exercise blocks, circuits, stretching, cooldowns, and gym sessions. Start a 30 minute timer or use the interval timer.
It counts from an absolute finish time, so it stays exact in a background tab and after the phone locks. Read the timing accuracy methodology.
Heavy numbers fill the fullscreen, and the colour says work or rest before you read a digit.
Three ticks into every change, a rising work call, a falling rest call and a triple at the end.
No ads, no signup, no pop-ups. The screen stays awake while it runs.
How to use the workout timer
- Press Start, or tap a programmeTabata, HIIT, EMOM, Intervals and Circuit start the moment you tap them, after a 10-second get-ready. Focus moves to Pause, so Space or Enter pauses it.
- Tune it with the big − and +Get ready, work, rest and rounds — or type a time like 1:30. A circuit names each exercise with its own time. Your changes are kept on this device as Custom.
- Prop up your phone and go fullscreenWork floods the screen warm and rest turns it cool, with “Work · 3/8” and “Next · Rest 0:10” as big as the room needs. Pause dims but never disappears.
- Hear where you areBeeps count you into every change; turn on Voice and it calls the round. At the end a bell rings until you press Stop — or choose a silent glow.
