Updated June 2026 · All picks are free to download
The recurring-timer workhorse: set an interval and get reminded again and again — medication, posture checks, laundry, brewing, anything cyclical. Seven thousand ratings say it does one job extremely well.
Built for training: rounds, sets, work and rest intervals with audio cues that keep you moving hands-free. Trusted by athletes and coaches since 2013 — the app to graduate to after our web HIIT and Tabata timers.
Time several things at once with independent stopwatches and lap times — racing heats, group activities, parallel experiments. Includes Apple Watch support for timing from your wrist.
Record video with a stopwatch overlay burned into the footage — sprint times and race finishes where the clock can never be disputed. The newest pick on this list.
