Custom Intervals
Set your own prepare, work, rest, and complete phases. Build routines that match your training style.
Interval timer for people who train
Don't count reps. Count down.
Tempo is a sharp, private workout timer for HIIT, Tabata, circuits, boxing rounds, and any routine where missing the next interval ruins the flow.

Training controls
Everything you need, nothing that asks for your email.
We built Tempo because interval timers should help you train, not onboard you into a platform. The controls are deep enough for custom sessions and simple enough to use between sets.

Store up to 18 custom workouts. Jump straight into your Daily HIIT, Tabata, or Strength Circuit.
Rich Sound Cues
Choose from boxing bells, generated tones, or system sounds. Customize volume, loop length, and warning alerts.
Native Notifications
Enable workout cues and Tempo will keep you on track with local notifications, even when backgrounded.
Dark Mode
Easy on the eyes at 5 AM or in a dim gym. Tempo respects your system preference or lets you toggle manually.
Works Offline
No internet required. Tempo runs entirely on your device, so your workout is never interrupted by a signal drop.
Real app screens, no mockups
Fine control without spreadsheet energy
Tempo has the controls serious interval training needs, but keeps them out of the way when it is time to start.
Interval Timer
Run the whole interval without thinking
Prep, work, rest, rounds, progress, and the next block stay visible without burying the main countdown.
Stopwatch
Switch from intervals to count-up work
Use the same clean timer face for open-ended efforts, rest checks, breath work, and accessory blocks.
Countdown Timer
Set a one-off countdown fast
Countdown mode keeps duration editing, status, progress, and controls in reach for simple timed efforts.
System Settings
Defaults are grouped by timer type
Interval Timer, Stopwatch, and Countdown Timer each get their own appearance and sound cue defaults.
Routine Settings
Override a saved routine when it needs it
Saved interval routines can override phase colors, progress colors, and cue behavior without changing global defaults.
Sound Cues
Tune each cue instead of accepting one beep
Choose real samples, generated tones, or system sounds, then set volume, play length, loop length, and warnings.
How it works
Three steps between opening the app and finishing your first round.
1
Set it up
Open the routine builder and dial in your intervals. Prep time, work time, rest time, rounds — however you train.
2
Hit start
The large, high-contrast timer keeps you focused. Phase labels, a progress ring, and haptic cues keep you on track.
3
Save and repeat
Love a routine? Save it. Next time, load it in one tap and get straight to work.
Your data never leaves your device
We believe workout timers should not be data collection devices. Tempo is built to be private by design.
No account required
Open the app and start training. Optional account features may come later, but local timer use stays available.
No cloud storage
Your routines and settings live on your phone. We do not run servers that store your workouts.
Minimal network use
The current release checks version policy and keeps routine data local. Any future monetization changes will be disclosed before release.
