Questions.

Still curious?[email protected]

How much does it cost?

Interval Timer is a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited routines forever — no subscriptions, no ads, no upsells. You can try the app first: install it, build and run a routine on us, and decide if it's for you before paying anything.

What does the Pro upgrade unlock?

Unlimited routines, for life, with a single one-time purchase through the App Store. Everything else — gallery, history, sync, Watch and TV apps, all the sounds and haptics — is available to everyone.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Routines, sounds, and history live on the device. iCloud sync runs in the background under your Apple ID; the only outbound call we initiate ourselves is when you tap "Share" to upload a routine to a short link, or open one someone sent you.

Does it sync between devices?

Yes — over iCloud. Routines and run history sync privately under your Apple ID across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV. If iCloud is off in iOS Settings, the app still works locally on each device.

Does the Watch run standalone?

Yes. Leave the phone in the locker and start a workout from the Watch alone — it's a native watchOS app that ticks independently. When the phone is nearby, sessions mirror back so the iPhone can act as a heads-up display.

Does the timer keep running when the phone is locked?

Yes. The app uses a Live Activity so the timer stays alive on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and it keeps ticking accurately while the screen is off or the app is backgrounded. Haptics and cue sounds still fire.

Will it interrupt my music?

No. Sounds layer over Apple Music, Spotify, or any other player without ducking the volume — your music keeps playing at full level and the bells just play on top.

What about heart rate?

Optional. On Apple Watch you can grant HealthKit permission to read your live heart rate during a workout; the BPM mirrors to the iPhone heads-up display. The Watch saves a workout entry to HealthKit so the run shows up in the Fitness app — we don't write the raw heart-rate samples anywhere, and nothing leaves your devices.

Can I customize the cues?

Yes. Set defaults for routine start, card end, routine end, halfway, last-10-seconds, and the final-3-second countdown in Settings. The three mid-card cues (halfway, last 10s, last 3s) plus the cue-haptics toggle can be overridden per card.

What does the Apple TV app do?

It's a native tvOS app: pick a routine on the TV with the Apple TV remote and run it as a heads-up display you can read across the room — perfect for floor work. Your routines and run history sync over iCloud, so everything you've built on iPhone is already there.

How does sharing a routine work?

Tap Share on any routine and you get a short gettimer.app/w/… link to send. When a friend opens it on a device with the app installed, the routine opens in a confirmation sheet — they preview it and tap Add to clone it into their library. No accounts required on either side.

Which languages?

English, German, Spanish, and Portuguese (Brazil + Portugal). More on the way.

What devices and OS versions are required?

Interval Timer runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. It requires the latest major OS release on each platform so we can use Live Activities, the Dynamic Island, and the modern Watch and TV APIs without compromise.
