## Description

**Sequence Timer** is a customizable step timer for Pomodoro focus sessions, deep work, HIIT, Tabata, stretching, cooking, presentations, and daily routines. Create multi-step timers with individual durations, labels, colors, loops, countdowns, voice cues, vibration patterns, and sounds.

Start quickly with Pomodoro and HIIT presets, convert plain text into timer steps, or use AI assistance and guided routine packs to build structured sessions. During each run, large time displays, spoken cues, notifications, vibration, and remaining-time readouts help you stay on track without constantly checking your screen. Widgets provide quick access to common timers, while execution history lets you review past sessions.
