Background-safe interval timer
Finally, an interval timer you own outright: 136 color palettes, Apple Watch haptics, and a Lock Screen Live Activity. One $3.99 unlocks it all. No subscription, no ads.
A clean, fast interval timer with full color customization. For HIIT, Pomodoro, meditation, boxing, yoga, cooking, music practice — anything you do in chunks.
WHY PULSE
Every interval timer looks the same. Red background. Green active state. Same screen as a hundred other apps. None of them feel like yours.
Pulse is the same primitive — but bright, customizable, and built to get out of your way. Big numbers. 136 palettes. Live Activity. An Apple Watch app. $3.99 once unlocks everything.
136 PALETTES, SEARCHABLE
• Coral — bright red + lime + black (the classic)
• Neon — electric pink + cyan + magenta
• Sunset — warm amber + plum + indigo
• Brutalist — high-contrast black + yellow + white
• Cyber — cyan + magenta + dark navy
…and 131 more. Search by color ("orange"), vibe ("neon", "calm"), or era ("70s"). Eight ship free; the one-time unlock opens all 136. The whole UI repaints instantly — timer, tabs, everything.
QUICK START IN TWO TAPS
Work, rest, rounds — three tiles and a big START. Or begin from a template:
• Tabata — 8 rounds, 20s work / 10s rest
• Pomodoro — 25/5 focus cycle
• Boxing Rounds — 3 min work / 1 min corner
• Quick Timer — one interval, zero setup
Save any setup as a named timer and it's one tap next time.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• Big-number timer — glanceable from across the room, color-coded by state: work, rest, done
• Live Activity — Lock Screen countdown + Dynamic Island pill that keep ticking while you use other apps
• Beeps + haptics — 3-2-1 countdown and end-of-interval cues that fire even while the screen is locked
• Stats — sessions, finish rate, minutes trained, and a weekly activity grid
• Your timers — save, name, edit, and reuse your sequences (three free; Pro is unlimited)
ON YOUR WRIST
• Apple Watch app — start any saved timer (or Quick Start) straight from the watch
• Full-color work/rest states that match your phone's palette
• Haptic taps at every transition: 3-2-1 clicks, work, rest, done — even wrist-down
• No flaky mirroring: the watch runs its own timer, so it can't drift or freeze
WHO IT'S FOR
• HIIT and Tabata circuits, boxing rounds, EMOM sessions
• Pomodoro work sprints and deep focus blocks
• Meditation, breathwork, and yoga timing
• Cooking timers, music practice, study sessions, anything in chunks
WHO IT'S NOT FOR
• People who want a workout video library (this is a timer, not a fitness app)
• People who want social features or workout sharing (we kept it focused)
• Anyone looking for a subscription — Pulse is one payment, forever
PRICING
• Pulse Pro — $3.99 one-time: all 136 palettes + unlimited saved timers
• Supporter unlock — $9.99 one-time: same features, bigger thank-you
That's it. No subscription. No auto-renew. No ads. Ever.
