About the Repeat Timer
The repeat timer automatically restarts after each countdown completes, making it perfect for any activity that requires regular intervals. Set your duration once, and the timer will keep cycling until you stop it or reach your target number of repetitions.
Loop Timer for Continuous Cycles
Unlike a standard countdown timer, our loop timer continues indefinitely or for a set number of cycles. Each time the countdown reaches zero, an alert sounds and the timer automatically resets and starts again. This hands-free operation means you can focus entirely on your activity without constantly resetting timers.
