Frequently Asked Questions

What is an interval timer?

An interval timer alternates between work and rest periods for a set number of rounds. Configure work duration (e.g., 30 seconds), rest duration (e.g., 10 seconds), and number of rounds (e.g., 8). The timer signals each transition.

How do I set up a HIIT workout timer?

Typical HIIT: 30 seconds work, 15 seconds rest, 8-12 rounds. The timer plays different sounds for work start, rest start, and workout complete. Total workout time is displayed before you begin.

Can I customize the work and rest sounds?

Yes. Choose different alert sounds for work periods, rest periods, halfway marks, and completion. Visual color changes also indicate the current phase — typically green for work and blue for rest.

Can I add a warm-up and cool-down period?

Yes. Set an optional warm-up duration before the first interval and a cool-down period after the last round. These are separate from the work/rest intervals and have their own audio cues.

What is the difference between interval timer and Tabata timer?

Tabata is a specific interval protocol: 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest, 8 rounds (4 minutes total). The interval timer is fully customizable — any work/rest duration and any number of rounds. Use the dedicated Tabata Timer for strict Tabata workouts.
