Routine Timer is a full-featured timer for multi-step routines such as workouts, cooking schedules, training programs… anything you can think of! You can create routines that consist of sequential activities, set the duration of each activity, and run your routines in the timer. When a routine is running, the timer automatically informs you when it’s time to move on to the next activity. Unlike simple timers, Routine Timer requires no manual intervention as you move from one activity to the next.
Routine Timer is very simple to use. You create a routine by tapping the + button in the Routines view. Give your routine a unique name and tap the Activities row to add activities. A routine can have many activities (i.e. steps), and you add an activity by tapping the + button on the Activities view. Give the activity a description, and specify other properties such as its duration (how long the activity runs for) and an optional preparation time. Tap Done when you have finished configuring the activity. Add additional activities as desired, and then go back to the Routine view to save your new routine and it's activities.
To run the routine, tap the triangular play button beside the routine in the Routines view. This will take you to the Timer view and automatically start the routine. As the routine runs, you will be alerted as each activity starts and ends. This is your cue to finish the activity you are doing and move on to the next. You can use the controls to pause and resume an activity, skip forward or backward through activities, or restart the routine.
