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.
Can use it for emom and tabata for KB workouts

A great resource and raining for my first had marathon
I am a long-time user of this app. Love it!
I’ve been using Seconds daily for years, mainly for workouts but also for other uses. It’s easy and reliable.
I’ve used the Seconds timer for YEARS and loved it! Whether I’m using it for skate intervals, Spin Intervals or recently Rebounding intervals, It’s been great. Being able to screen cast my timers onto a bigger screen so my older eyes can see across my workout room has been SO essential! I LOVE this update! I’ve also started to send interval timers for my family to use online. I just send them a link!
I’m 69 and workout twice a week with a professional trainer. But I have multiple timers customized for my in-between days. It definitely helps keep me strong and healthy to deal with my 15 acres, large house, animals and large family.
I am a fitness instructor. A fellow instructor suggested this app to me after she saw me struggling to keep track of time on my phone, while calling moves and floor coaching. I love that you can create your own workout timers, press play, and go! I also realized that you can set the app to verbally announce the 3 second countdown, as well as call out the next move on my preset list. I never ever pay for apps, but this one was totally worth it, as the price is very reasonable. I don’t remember exactly how much, but it was less than $10, and I happily paid it. Now I can reuse workouts easily! Super glad I have this app!
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
