The workout side

Kronos writes one for you in seconds, checked against a trainer’s standard.

Tell it your goal, your gear and your time. It writes the session for the slots on your timer, and runs it.

Built to a personal trainer’s standard.

Every session is checked before it reaches you, and most are ready in about five seconds.

What it does without asking

Built to stay out of your way.

  1. 01

    Set it down. Walk away.

    The screen stays lit the whole workout, so every beep and buzz lands without you waking the phone or tapping a thing.

  2. 02

    Plays nice with your music.

    Spotify, podcasts, whatever. Our cues mix on top. No ducking, no fade-out.

  3. 03

    Save unlimited presets.

    Build a 40/20/8/3 once. It’s there forever. No account, no cloud, no upsell.

    You don’t need a paywall to remove ads we never put there.

How the free interval timers compare

Our footer reads: time is the unit.

The timer is the literal expression of that. Charging for it would be charging for the unit. So we don’t.
