Pulsava HIIT Timer

Stop staring at your phone between sets. Pulsava HIIT Timer runs your interval workout by sound and vibration, so a quick glance is all you ever need. Pick a ready-made routine or build your own, hit start, and a giant color-coded countdown counts you through every work and rest cycle. It works fully offline, with no account and no ads.

WHAT MAKES PULSAVA DIFFERENT

Most timers just count down. Pulsava shows you the whole workout at once. A row of sequence chips spells out your intervals — 20W, 10R, 20W, 10R and on down the line — with the current stage lit up in crimson and finished stages dimmed, so you always know exactly what is coming next. The hero timer card changes color by phase: crimson for WORK CYCLE, cyan for REST CYCLE, green when the SESSION is COMPLETE. A soft neumorphic design on a clean white canvas keeps everything calm and readable, even mid-burpee.

KEY FEATURES

• Big glanceable countdown — A large monospace MM:SS timer inside a phase-colored card, with a gentle breathing pulse while it runs. Readable from across the room.

• Color-coded work and rest — The phase label and card border switch between crimson work and cyan rest automatically, so you feel the change without reading a word.

• ROUND x of y tracking — Always know which round you are on and how many are left, right under the countdown.

• Sequence progression chips — A horizontally scrolling map of your entire interval sequence (20W, 10R…), with the active stage highlighted and completed stages faded.

• Ready-made presets — Start instantly with bundled routines like Tabata (20s work, 10s rest, 8 rounds), plus HIIT and EMOM-style circuits shown right on the home screen with work, rest, rounds and total time.

• Custom routine builder — Name your routine and set work and rest from 1 to 3600 seconds and 1 to 99 rounds, using quick minus-5 and plus-5 steppers or direct number entry. Save it, edit it, delete it.

• Audio cues — A clear tone fires at the start of every new stage and a double tone marks the finish, so you can train with your eyes closed. Toggle on or off in Settings.

• Haptic cues — A short vibration pulse marks each transition, with a double buzz at the end. Perfect for silent workouts — turn audio off and run on vibration alone.

• Runs in the background — A foreground notification keeps counting (Round 3/8 — WORK 00:14) even when you leave the app or lock the screen, and a wake lock keeps timing reliable.

• Precision timing — The clock is built on elapsed-real-time with pause-accurate math, so it stays drift-free across every pause and resume.

• Pause, resume, stop — Big, friendly transport controls, including a custom crimson play and pause button.

• Personalized setup — A quick 3-question quiz (training style, work-to-rest ratio, sound preference) builds a starter routine tuned to you.
