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.
The app is really helpful to develop sessions in advance, with various tools that can help run classes to time. It’s also really easy to use 👍🏽
I’m a personal trainer and I not only use this as a tool with my clients but I also use it for my own training. Great for keeping workouts moving and yet predictable with the circuit program options. I have recommended this app to many people no matter their level of fitness!
Great app to keep you accountable. I use it for stretching.
Have had this for years, great app, intuitive, simple, well laid out, great features and extremely good technical help when I had a problem - 11/10
I'm currently having private fitness training due to an accident I was in. The trainer told me about this app.
Not only is it very intuitive, it even works well with VoiceOver.
A feature I liked is the option to be able to turn on voice guidance for things such as audio countdown and more.
Been able to set how many beeps per minute is also excellent for time trials.
A lots of thought has gone into this app. 👍🏻
This is the best timer on the market. Fully adaptable to anything you need. Colors and vibrations adjustments help make it easy to use while working out or while coaches clients. I love how it easily transfers to my Apple Watch and I can use it on my watch once I create my workout on the app. There is no other app that does so much. It is more than worth the cost of the app. It has paid for itself more than 100x over. I can’t image working or working out without it.
Best intervals app. Worth the price
I absolutely adore this workout tracker. I have been using HeavySet for the last 9 years since 2017. It’s so easy & simple to use but not basic at all. It’s incredible for tracking your progress across all exercises, weights, reps, sets & volume. It has everything you need without anything you don’t.
I will never change to another app and will continue using this app until i’m old and grey.
I bought this app (luckily) before it became subscription based when they first launched. However, if I had to pay for this on a monthly basis, I would without hesitation.
Highly, highly recommend.
Use this in my Fitness classes everyday. This is a staple in my class.

I like that I can set a series of timers to cue me at different stages of my program
Great app for physical therapy.
I’ve had this app for several years now and find it invaluable for my circuit training
