Fabulous app that does exactly what it says in a nice, clean interface for free with no ads.Turn off the phone display and the app notifies you on your Apple Watch which is great.Timer restarts automatically so I can run as many sessions as I need to with breaks in between.For repeating blocks of time without a break, I just set the rest time to the same duration as the task time and this app provides a handy little reminder to keep me on track.No options to modify sounds, but it doesn’t matter - the notification is just right.Would be nice to run it directly from my watch, but really a minor point for such a lovely simple app that is free.This makes me grateful; thank you! Fabulous app…from apps.apple.com

    In 2013, I couldn’t find a decent interval timer for my workouts on the Android Market (Google Play wasn’t even called Google Play yet!). Could you believe that? Typing 'interval timer' returned nothing! So I decided to build a simple App while in college. Fast forward 12 years, that simple timer has grown into an ecosystem: Android, iOS, Wear OS, Apple Watch, and a coaching platform. All built solo, with no AI assistance, and redesigned 4 times to keep up with UI trends. Over the years I’ve learned a lot about long-term app maintenance, cross-platform challenges, and keeping codebases…
