Interval Timer for iPhone
One app for body, mind, and productivity. Training, breathwork, meditation, and deep focus — guided by quiet cues you can feel, so you stay in flow.
Free trial · No signup · iOS 17+
Designed to disappear
Cadence uses sound, haptics, and light — not narration — to guide your practice. Eyes closed, phone face-down, fully present. Quiet cues that keep you on track without pulling you out of the moment.
13 original cues — from a gentle bell to a sharp bleep. Audible through headphones, a speaker, or across the room.
Soft pulse, double tap, or long buzz. Feel each transition through your pocket — even with the phone face-down and silent.
A full-screen colour burst — or a flashlight flash — marks each transition. Glanceable from across the room. Go completely silent and let the light alone guide you.
Built for how you actually practice
Every block carries its own cue — a bell, a haptic pulse, a colour burst. Set each block's duration, cue type, and repeat count. Save it. Reuse it. Evolve it as your practice grows.

Breathwork
Box breathing, coherent breathing, 4-7-8, pranayama — build any custom breathwork interval timer. Cadence reminds you of each breath and cycle without a voice.
Meditation
A silent meditation timer that signals — not narrates. Design your own sit with interval bells and haptic cues. No guided voice. Just a quiet signal when it's time.
Training
HIIT, Tabata, boxing timer rounds, and run/walk intervals with haptic cues that land even when your phone is in your pocket. Saves automatically to Apple Health as a Workout.
Deep work
Pomodoro-style work and break blocks, Ultradian Focus sessions, and custom writing or reading stamina timers — anchor your attention without app switching.
Cold exposure
Set your hold and let a cue pace your breathing to a slow, steady rhythm that keeps you calm in the cold. Eyes closed, phone in hand, fully present.
Focus sessions
A work block timer for iPhone that structures your day — focus, short break, long break, recovery. Pair with an interval breathing timer to close the day.
01
Every phase transition fires a haptic pulse — soft, double tap, or long buzz. Feel the cue through your pocket even when sound is off.
02
Cadence logs every session automatically — Mindful Sessions for meditation and breathwork, Workouts for training. No manual entry.
03
Three progressive programs: 5K Run Training, Meditation (5 to 30 minutes over weeks), and Reading Stamina. Follow the plan, track your progress.
04
No account. No tracking. No ads. Your practice data stays on your device and nowhere else.
05
Block name and time remaining stay visible without unlocking your phone. One look tells you everything.
06
Cue sounds cut through binaural tracks, ambient audio, or music. Critical for breathwork practitioners and gym use with headphones in.
FAQ
Yes — by design. Cadence is a silent meditation timer that signals transitions with a bell, a haptic pulse, or a colour flash. No voice counts your breaths, no coach narrates your sit. You set the structure; Cadence holds it quietly. Voice announcements are available at session start and end if you want them, but they're off by default.
Yes. Cadence is a breathwork timer app built for experienced practitioners. Every block in your sequence carries its own haptic cue — soft pulse, double tap, or long buzz — so you feel each phase change through your hand or pocket. It works for box breathing, 4-7-8, coherent breathing, pranayama, or any custom breathwork interval pattern you practice.
Cadence offers a 7-day free trial with full access to every feature — no signup beyond the App Store. After the trial, you can choose a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase. If you want a custom interval timer on iPhone without committing to a subscription, the one-time purchase option is there.
Yes. The Box Breathing preset runs Inhale · Hold · Exhale · Hold with a dedicated cue on each phase — sound, haptic, or both. You can adjust every duration and run as many rounds as you need. The timer builder lets you construct any custom breathwork interval timer from scratch in under a minute.
Yes. Cadence works as a focus session interval timer for iPhone — Pomodoro, Deep Work, Ultradian Focus, and any custom work-block sequence. The phone sits face-down; a haptic tells you when the break starts. No screen required. It also runs a reading stamina app protocol that progressively extends your uninterrupted reading sessions.
Yes. The Cold Exposure preset paces your breathing with quiet cues to keep you calm in the cold. Set your hold duration, pick a haptic, and let Cadence guide you through — eyes closed, phone in hand, no need to look at the screen. It's a minimalist iPhone app built for exactly this kind of eyes-closed, phone-in-hand practice.
Yes. Cadence is a pranayama timer for iPhone with no voice guidance. Build any multi-phase breathing sequence — Nadi Shodhana, Kapalabhati, Bhramari, or any custom pattern — and assign a distinct haptic or sound to each phase. The practice stays silent. Just the cues you need, nothing more.
After 7 days, you choose: a monthly subscription or a one-time purchase — whichever feels right. Everything is managed through Apple's App Store. No separate account, no third-party billing. Cancel or switch any time.
Completely. No account. No tracking. No ads. Your practice data stays on your device and nowhere else. Cadence has no server to send it to.
No. Sound and haptic cues carry the full session. Phone face-down, in your pocket, or across the room — you never need to look. The Lock Screen Live Activity shows block name and time remaining if you glance, but the cues make that optional.
