Tabata & HIIT Timer

Set your work and rest times, rounds and sets, and the total time and work ratio appear before you start. Press start and the timer signals every change of segment with a 3-2-1 countdown. The screen turns red for work and blue for rest so you can read it out of the corner of your eye, and the dots below track the rounds you have left.

How to use

  1. Tap a quick setup (Tabata 20/10 × 8 and friends) or type your own values.
  2. Set the rounds and sets, and add prep or cool-down time if you want.
  3. Check the total time and work ratio, then press start.
  4. Audio cues mark each transition and the final three seconds.

This timer does not add a rest after the final round, so a standard Tabata (20/10 × 8) finishes at 3:50 rather than 4:00. Ending on work feels more natural and it keeps the displayed total honest.

FAQ

Why is my Tabata 3:50 instead of 4:00?

Because the 10-second rest after the eighth work interval is left out — the session should not end on a rest. If you want a round 4:00, set the cool-down to 10 seconds.

How do I set up an EMOM?

Set rest to 0, work to 60 seconds and pick your number of rounds. The 'EMOM 60s × 10' quick setup does exactly that.

Do the cues stop when the screen turns off?

On browsers that support it, the timer holds a screen wake lock while running. On devices without it, keep the screen on.

I get no sound.

Browsers only allow audio after a user gesture. Press start once and cues will play from then on. Also check your device's silent switch and volume.
