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 am a full-time artist and this app is exactly what I was looking for. I always forget to stand back from my painting and setting a timer to stand back. Every 10 minutes has made my heart so much better. My favorite part is the circuit timer. So I can repeat it as many times as I want.
I love this app
Use it for every run. I follow Jeff Galloway’s run/walk/run method and this app is my go to for every run. Works perfectly.
I used Seconds for years because it was the best interval app out there. Finally, Apple improved its workout app enough for me to shift to it because of integration with its fitness app on some stats, even though its setup was very weird. However, at the same time Apple made life so difficult for Seconds and forced Seconds to rebuild its app, Apple trashed its own app, so I’m back and it is still a really great app, with some additional functionality. I recommend it. Some people have complained that it is too complicated,but that is because it can be customized for whatever you need. Two small things would be helpful but it remains a 5-star app without them. One, it would be nice, but not critical, to get the complication back. To be honest, that saves a second or less in set up. Two, some better voices would be nice.
It’s hard to believe that an app could do more and it still delivers on my original purchase, so it is a long-run bargain.
This is my go to timer for my powerlifting and run-walk workouts. It’s flexible and can accommodate any workout I do. Check it out! You’ll love it too.
Great interval timer. Easy to program. Does what I need it to do: interval workouts and tabata training.
Allows you to create custom timers that notify you for each interval. The interface is clean, minimal and intuitive. And most importantly it’s able to work with your watch. So you don’t need your phone to even use the timers which is very convenient and essential for productivity.
Easy to use but also very configurable
Great app - worth the money
I have enjoyed using this app for 4+ years.
Nothing too fancy but it’s perfect for any workout need
This app is perfect for my interval training. Easy to use and free!
