What it does
For three years, every workout of mine has been interval-based. I tried every timer app I could find — most of them were functional, but felt like spreadsheets. So I built Taba. The timer I actually wanted — minimalist design, animated gradients that shift with each phase, Apple Watch support, and full control over rounds, sets, and rest. What started as a personal project is now on the App Store. And I still use it for every workout. Now I’m happy to share it.
An interval timer you feel through color. Animated phase gradients, Apple Watch app with live heart rate, custom workouts. Free on iOS.
Every phase has its own living gradient. Your body learns the rhythm before your brain processes a number. Defaults are curated — or pick any color for each phase and make it yours. A cool tone floods the screen. Your body reads calm. The countdown begins. Warm tones surge through the gradient. No number needed — push now. A soft hue fades in. Pulse slows. Permission to rest — visible instantly. Set your own gradient for each phase. Any color, fully yours. Full native app. Live heart rate, calories. Standalone mode included. Download your full training log as a PDF. Ready to print or share with a coach. Auto-generated result cards after every session. One tap to share anywhere. Real-time…from taba-timer.com

Exercise Timer2023 · exercisetimer.net · ▲7In 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…

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
