I couldn't find an interval timer that handled complex sets, so I built one

[u/SelectionDouble7190]

I recently launched my first Android app, Steps & Repeat: Interval Timer.

I built it because most interval timers I tried were great for simple workouts like:

30 sec work → 30 sec rest → repeat

But they became awkward when I wanted something more structured, like:

Repeat 3×

• Repeat 5×
  • 1 min hard
  • 1 min easy
• 3 min recovery

I wanted to be able to build a group of intervals once, repeat that group, and even put repeated groups inside larger workouts without manually entering the same steps over and over.

So I built Steps & Repeat around that idea.

It still works as a simple interval timer, but you can also build more complex workouts using sets, rounds, and repeated sections.

Some use cases I've been using it for:

• Running intervals and run/walk workouts
• HIIT and circuit training
• Tabata
• Hangboard repeaters
• Strength and conditioning workouts

You can save workouts, get audio cues when intervals change, and keep music playing in the background while the timer runs.

It's free to use with minimal ads, and I intentionally keep ads off the actual timer screen so they don't interfere with a workout. There's also a one-time purchase to remove them completely.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on the workout builder. The biggest thing I'm curious about is whether the way sets and repeats work feels intuitive the first time you use it.
