Seconds is an extremely popular, and highly versatile interval timer app for High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Tabata and circuit training workouts.
Download Seconds for free on iOS or Android and try all it's features. A one time in-app purchase for the Seconds Pro upgrade will allow you to save your timers rather than recreating them each time.
Seconds comes with templates for common interval programming allowing to build advanced timers in a matter of moments.
If the templates do not fit your needs you can use the custom timer to build your timer one interval at a time. You can even combine and loop through many timers using the compound timer.
Often when working out you just want to keep your phone in your pocket and get on with it. But if you are doing a circuit involving many intervals how do you remember what's next?
Seconds will speak your interval names, so this is never a problem. There is even an option to let you know what the next interval is so you have time to prepare before it starts.
If you are looking for a mediation or yoga timer text-to-speech or high pitch beeps may not be appropriate. For situations like these Seconds comes with more soothing alerts such as bells and gongs, or you may wish to have no alert sounds at all, or just a vibration. All these options are available.
Seconds provides plenty of options for how you listen to your music while you workout. A few options include:
Of course, if none of those suit you, you can simply listen to your favourite music player in the background and Seconds will play it's alerts over the top.
Importing and exporting timers from Seconds Pro could not be simpler. Just select the timers you wish to share and hit Export. Timers can be sent via email or AirDrop (on iOS devices).
Timers can even be shared with friends that don't have the app via the web sharing function. Once shared, an online timer will be created for anyone to use on any device.
Seconds Interval Timer will continue to alert you of interval changes whether in the background or the foreground.
Colored intervals are great when you just need a visual clue to see which interval you are on and what is coming up next. Seconds displays the the whole screen in the current intervals color, apart from the next interval which uses it's own color.
Seconds has 10 colors to choose from with an advanced option to customize the colors if you wish.
Seconds utilises all the available width for the main timer display so it's easy to read at a glance. By default it displays the interval time remaining, but can be configured to show total time remaining, or elapsed times.
I put all my workouts on here - aerobic workouts, stretches and weight workouts. It’s so easy to follow along It keeps me on track. I totally love it and I use it every day.
Perfect
I’ve had this app for 5 years and it is perfect for me. Easy to set up. Integrates with music. I use it for HIIT/ Tabata and wouldn’t change for the world.
I’ve been using this app for so many years, I can’t remember not using it. The user interface is intuitive and incorporates the music you have on your device into each timer to be played during workouts along with your exercise cues. I love that there are sample timers that explain how each timer could possibly function. The compound timer is my favorite feature. I can input an entire workout from warm up through to cool down easily. The compound timer allows for the use of all timer types within a single workout. I can warm up with a round timer, continue with tabata, add a circuit, and then cool down with another round timer. Five stars to the app that hasn’t let me down in thirteen years!
Very userfriendly. Easy setup.
It’s the best.
It’s as simple and as nuanced as you wish.
One of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded.
I have been using for almost a decade and it makes fitness tracking easy
Amazing app, switching from swod timer
I LOVE the app as a Pilates Instructor! However, it no longer syncs to my watch and that’s what I MUST have! Please advise
Great app with complete flexibility to create custom time sequences. One improvement would be to have a ticking metronome sound option instead of the beep.
It’s great for workouts, cleaning interval timers, and even creative interval practices. I love that it’s one purchase instead of subscriptions for the rest of our lives.
Great app to create a good routine that breaks up muscle types
