NΞON Workout Timer

Track reps and sets with a timer built for strength training. Start workouts in 3 seconds. No accounts, no subscriptions, no bloat—just a timer that gets out of your way.

Most workout timers are built for HIIT intervals. They assume you do "20 seconds on, 10 seconds off" and repeat. But if you lift weights, you need something different: reps per set, configurable rest periods, and the ability to string together multiple exercises.

Neon Timer is built from the ground up for how lifters actually train.

START IMMEDIATELY

Tap Quick Workout, add exercises on-the-fly, set your reps and rest, and go. Pre-loaded with common exercises (Squats, Bench Press, Deadlifts, Pull-ups, and more) so you can start without any setup. No tutorials, no sign-up flows, no accounts required.

REPS-BASED TIMING

Set reps per set and number of sets. The timer calculates work duration based on your pace (explosive, normal, or controlled). Or toggle to time-based mode for planks, HIIT finishers, or any timed exercise. One timer handles your entire session.

CONFIGURABLE REST PER EXERCISE

Your rest between heavy squats shouldn't be the same as your rest between bicep curls. Set 3 minutes for strength work, 60 seconds for hypertrophy, 30 seconds for accessories. Each exercise gets its own rest period.

FULL WORKOUT SUPPORT

String together multiple exercises with rest between them. Create groups, set rounds, configure rest between exercises and rounds. Build once, reuse forever. Or just start fresh every time—your choice.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Tap Quick Workout (or select a saved plan)
2. Add exercises: type a name or pick from defaults
3. Set reps, sets, and rest for each exercise
4. Start. The timer guides you through with clear countdowns and optional beeps

That's it. No complexity, no friction, no excuses.

PRIVACY-FIRST

All workout data stays on your device. No cloud sync, no external servers, no data risk. Optional HealthKit integration lets you save sessions to Apple Health if you want—a system you already control. No accounts means no email addresses, no tracking, no breaches.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE

Pay once, own forever. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads. This isn't a freemium app trying to upsell you. It's a timer. You buy it, you use it.

BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD

Native SwiftUI app optimized for both devices. Works offline, respects system settings, supports Dynamic Type and VoiceOver. Clean, minimal interface that doesn't distract from your workout.

PERFECT FOR

Strength training with reps and sets
Hypertrophy work with moderate rest periods
Powerlifting sessions with longer rest
Circuit training and complexes
HIIT finishers and conditioning
Any workout that needs reliable timing

NOT FOR

Social fitness networks (we don't do that)
Automatic rep counting via camera (not in v1)
Complex periodization programming (keep it simple)

The best workout timer is the one that matches how you actually train—not how an app developer thinks you should train.
