Background Interval Timer

An interval timer that plays its beeps on top of whatever you're listening to.

Most workout timers pause your music or video when they make a sound. Background Interval Timer doesn't. Keep a show, playlist or podcast playing, and clear beeps tell you when to work and when to rest — over the top, without stopping or ducking anything.

JUST THREE NUMBERS
Set your work time, rest time and number of sets. That's it. Tap a number to pick it from a wheel, or use + and −.

HEAR EVERY CHANGE
• A soft click every second keeps the pace (you can turn it off)
• Beep-beep-beep in the last three seconds of each interval
• A higher tone the moment work or rest begins
• A finish sound when the last set ends

KEEPS RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND
Lock the screen or switch to another app — the timer keeps exact time and keeps beeping.

MADE FOR GLANCES
Huge numbers and a full-screen color change between work (lime) and rest (black), so you can read it from across the room.
