In short

PepTimer, Interval Timer is a free interval timer that shows a figure for each exercise and announces the next one by voice, laid over music without pausing it. It suits people who want guided workouts such as Tabata, HIIT, or Pilates, with 60+ exercises and the option to build their own. It stands out for its Apple Watch support, which shows the workout phase and heart rate on the wrist.

About

PepTimer is an interval timer that shows you each exercise and calls out the next one. Everything you need to train is free: no ads, no account, no subscription.

A voice counts you down and calls out what's coming – laid over your music instead of pausing it, even with your iPhone locked in your pocket.

60+ EXERCISES THAT SHOW YOU HOW • Every exercise has a small figure that demonstrates the move – some from the side and from the front. In lunges the figure switches legs • From strength and cardio to stretches like the downward dog or the cobra • Pilates moves like the Hundred, swimming and the half roll-down, also as the ready-made workouts "Pilates short" and "Pilates long" • During the get-ready countdown and every break, you see what's next, and if you like, the current exercise while you do it • Browse them in the Exercises tab, with search (under an exercise's old name too) and body-area filters, and build a workout straight from your picks

A VOICE THAT GETS YOU THROUGH • Announces the next exercise, counts you down, calls halfway and the last round • Grace in English, Anna in German, whatever the app's language • Or no voice at all, tones only

START RIGHT AWAY • Classic Tabata (20 s work, 10 s rest, 8 rounds) in one tap • "What do you feel like today?": ready-made workouts for Upper body, Legs & glutes, Core, Full body, No jumping, Mobility and Pilates • Templates for HIIT, EMOM, AMRAP, circuits and boxing rounds

YOUR OWN WORKOUTS • As many as you like: exercises from the catalog or with names of your own • Add several exercises at once, with one length for all of them and rests in between if you like • In blocks: say 10 rounds of burpees, a break, then 10 rounds of planks • Drag to reorder, and undo a delete • Share by link: whoever opens it adds your workout in one tap

EVEN WITH THE SCREEN LOCKED • Announcements and tones keep going when you lock the screen or switch to another app • On the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island: the time left and a bar of every phase of your workout

APPLE WATCH AND APPLE HEALTH • Your iPhone's workout on your wrist too: the phase, the time, the exercise and what comes next • A vibration at every phase change, even with your wrist down • Your heart rate while you train • Pause, resume, skip and end right from the watch • If you like, your workouts go to Apple Health, with or without a watch

BUILT FOR TRAINING • Big digits you can read from the mat, portrait and landscape • Figure off, normal or large – you choose it in Settings beside a preview of the timer • Every phase has its own color • Tones: beep, gong, boxing bell or whistle • Vibration on every phase change • Announcement volume independent of your music • If you like, your music gets quieter for each announcement – you choose how long it stays down between them • Announcements as captions if you like • Text grows with your text size, up to a cap that keeps every screen readable • The screen stays on while you train • A history of your sessions, with the time trained and the exercises skipped • Light, dark or whatever your iPhone uses

PEPTIMER PLUS Buy once, keep it for good. No subscription. • Train together: you lead a workout, and the people next to you join on their own iPhones, all in step. Joining is free. • More voices: Megan, Sam and Reginald in English, Elena, Jonas, Chris and Oma Gerda in German. Listen to them before you buy. • Whatever is added to Plus later is yours at no extra cost • With Family Sharing for everyone in your family

YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU PepTimer collects nothing. No tracking, no analytics, no server. Your workouts and your history live only on your device, your heart rate and saved sessions only on your devices and in Apple Health. When you train together, the iPhones talk to each other directly, without the internet, and a shared workout travels inside the link itself.
