Get Ready. Round 1 of 8.
Set it up in seconds
Pick your work and rest times, how many exercises and rounds, a rest between rounds and a get-ready countdown. The total updates as you go, so you know how long the workout takes before you start.
Tabata, EMOM, boxing rounds or a circuit of your own: it all runs on the same simple screen, with one button to start.
Hear every change, even over your music
A 3-2-1 countdown before every change, and a different sound for work and rest. Cues play with your iPhone on silent and over Spotify, Apple Music or a podcast. Turn on Lower Music During Cues and your music dips for a moment at each one, so it's easy to hear.
The screen stays on while you train. If you lock your phone anyway, allow notifications and alerts still mark each interval.
Save the workouts you repeat
Six built-in workouts to start with, from Classic Tabata to Strength Intervals. Save your own, give them a name and start any of them in one tap. Every finished workout lands in your history.

Questions
Is Interval Pal free?
Yes. The interval timer, the six built-in workouts, three saved workouts of your own and your last seven days of history are free, with no ads. Interval Pal Pro adds unlimited saved workouts, full history and trends, Apple Health, sharing and extra themes.
Will I hear the cues over my music?
Yes. Cues play over music and podcasts, and with your iPhone on silent. Turn on Lower Music During Cues in Settings and your music dips for a moment at each cue, then comes back up.
What happens if my phone locks?
The screen stays on during a workout by default. If you lock your iPhone anyway, allow notifications for Interval Pal and each interval change still alerts you.
Does it work with Apple Watch?
There's no Apple Watch app yet. With Pro, finished workouts are saved to Apple Health, and the heart rate and calories your Apple Watch records show up in your workout summary.
Do I need an account?
No. There's nothing to sign up for, and your workouts and history stay on your iPhone.
Which iPhones does it run on?
Any iPhone running iOS 18 or later.
How do I cancel Pro?
Open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and choose Interval Pal. Cancel at least 24 hours before your trial ends or your plan renews and you won't be charged again.
