Repeating Timer
Set an interval — say, every 5 minutes — and this timer rings automatically each time it passes, for a chosen number of rounds or indefinitely. Add an optional prep countdown before the first round starts. Useful for stretching reminders, hourly water or movement breaks, meditation bells, or any recurring reminder you don't want to have to reset by hand every time.
About the repeating timer
Set an interval and this timer rings automatically every time that interval passes, for a chosen number of rounds or indefinitely — useful for reminders that repeat on a fixed schedule, like stretching or water breaks.
Some reminders need to repeat on a fixed schedule rather than run once — a stretch break every 30 minutes, a water reminder every hour, a meditation bell every few minutes. This timer handles that directly: set the interval length, how many times it should repeat (or repeat forever), and an optional prep countdown before the first round begins. Timing is based on target timestamps recalculated each round, so it stays accurate over many repeats instead of drifting.
When to use it
- Stretching or movement reminders during a long work session.
- Hourly water or break reminders.
- Meditation bells at a fixed interval.
- Any recurring reminder you don't want to manually reset each time.
How to use it
- Set the interval length and the number of rounds (or turn on repeat forever).
- Optionally set a prep countdown before the first round starts.
- Press start — the timer rings automatically at the end of each round until it finishes.
Tips
- Use "repeat forever" for background reminders you'll stop manually when you're done.
- A short prep countdown gives you a moment to get ready before the first interval begins.
FAQ
Does the timer stay accurate over many repeats?
Yes — each round's target time is recalculated rather than accumulated, so timing does not drift even after dozens of repeats.
Can it repeat forever?
Yes — turn on "repeat forever" instead of setting a fixed number of rounds.
Can I choose the alarm sound?
Yes — pick from the available sounds and adjust the volume, or mute it entirely.
