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 customization options are fantastic.
Layout is great for different kinds of workouts. Audio promos are also good.
I’ve tried out an embarrassingly large number of workout timers but have stuck with Seconds for over a year because it does precisely what it says it does and doesn’t try to do more. Customizable. Dependable. Ideal.
I do suggest that if you get it you play around with it a bit to get things lined up in the manner you want. Nothing huge but do you want your music to play over your alerts, what tones you want, etc.
I’ve used this app for years and it’s never let me down. Great for staying focused during HIIT and boxing workouts.
This app is easy to use and helps keep me focused when I don't want to do my own thing.
This app makes setting up great workouts easy!
Does what it purports to! With pleasing design, the right customization options, even ability to adjust design. Happy to have purchased the full shebang.
Most minor of “wishes” – would appreciate an even cleaner app icon. But hard to care much when the app ticks all the boxes!
We appreciate you being so responsive and actually caring about getting everything fixed! It does not go unnoticed. Thank you!
This is a great timer for various applications
I’ve been using this for years and they are very good about customer service. Just be careful because sometimes updates make really simple things go away (type of workout) and sometimes major things (haptics, halfway, count up). It works really well to keep track for large group fitness classes, individual clients, and yourself
Flexible timer, you can define your intervals, rounds and alerts. Pre-delivered timers gives you a starting point too.
Love the app! I use it for coaching and makes my life so much easier!
