About Exercise Timer
Exercise Timer runs high intensity interval training sessions. After a short preparation period it plays a set number of exercise rounds with rest periods between them, and beeps at and before each transition, with adjustable volume. It makes no assumptions about which exercise you do.
You can save presets with the number of sets and the length of exercise, rest and preparation periods. The interface follows the system light or dark mode. The latest version, 1.10.0, was released in May 2026.
