An interval timer you can read mid-set
When you are halfway through a set, reading a small number on a phone is exactly the thing you cannot do. The background colour here carries the phase — green for work, blue for rest — which is readable upside down, from across a room, and out of the corner of your eye.
Work and rest are set independently and go down to fifteen second increments, so a Tabata pattern of twenty seconds on and ten off is as easy to configure as a five minute circuit.
- HIIT and circuit training
- Tabata intervals
- Timed practice sets — instrument, language, drills
- Anything alternating effort and recovery on a fixed schedule
Configurations that stay configured
The work length, rest length and round count all live in the address bar. Your Tuesday circuit and your Thursday one are two different bookmarks, both ready without setting anything up.
The round counter shows where you are through the set, which is the other thing that becomes impossible to keep track of once you are tired.
Running it during a workout
Prop a phone or tablet where you can see it, press F for fullscreen, and press Start. The colour tells you the phase and the number tells you how long is left in it.
It is silent. Play whatever you were going to play anyway; the timer will not fight it.
