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.
Having tried a few different apps initially, I’ve now been using this app for several years and although it’s quite simple, it does everything I need as a PT & group exercise instructor. It allows me to create any kind of time based session with as much or as little instruction for myself for when I’m running the class. The copy and paste functions are also great for quickly building repeat sets or variations on classes. This app is the most essential tool I have; many thanks!
I use this program, primarily as a timer for Tabata and circuit training. It’s a rock, solid program that does exactly what I need it to do. Well done!
This app does exactly what I need it to do without any extra nonsense. I used it for free for many years and I was fine Redoing the timer every time. I decided to buy it because I’ve been using it for so long, I felt like a moocher.
Love the copy paste option.
I’ve used this app for years, different clubs, different sports, different gyms. No matter where I’m training or what I’m doing it always comes in handy. I really enjoy being able to look back at different timers that I’ve created and redoing old exercises (e.g. seeing if I can still keep up with a university rowing core circuit)
I'm yet to find anything I could imagine improving. Very functional with huge flexibility. Well done
I enjoy this timer and its ability to customize your own timers. It does take some time and getting used to but well worth it.
I’m amazed by how much the free version offers and I’ve been using several times a week for 2 years. I can look at my workout history and each exercise shows my 1 rep max and will alert me to pbs including most sets and volume as well as 1 rep max increase. All round excellent.
I’ve been using this for years. Couldn’t be better
Very helpful when training alone and trying to do circuits
This is easy to use and works great.
Great little timer to time workout. Like how it tells you when you have 3 seconds to go. Very handy
