Interval timer, stopwatch with lap analysis and your own workout plans. Run as many timers as you need, a stopwatch with lap analysis and your own interval workouts ā and start them by voice while your hands are busy. Speech recognition runs fully on your device, so it works offline. No ads, no account, no subscription, no tracking.
Hi Product Hunt š
I'm Orhan, a freelance mobile developer from Germany. Handy Timer is a side project I built because every timer I tried failed at the exact moment I needed it: a dumbbell in one hand, screen too sweaty to swipe.
So the core idea is simple ā you say "Start Timer" or "Timer Start" and it starts.
And it stays on your phone. Wake-word detection runs fully on-device, so there's no cloud service, no account and no internet connection involved at any point. Your voice never leaves the device ā not becauseI promise it doesn't, but because the app has no way to send it anywhere.
What's inside:
š Voice control that actually works offline
One command, context-aware: it starts a timer, a stopwatch or a workout plan, and creates a timer if none exists yet. Recognition runs entirely on-device ā your voice never leaves the phone. German and English are both understood.
ā± Timers
As many side by side as you want, each named and colour-coded. Presets for the durations you use constantly. Hundredth-of-a-second display, drift-free over hours, and a final-stretch mode where the last 10 seconds grow, turn red and pulse.
ā² Stopwatch with lap analysis
Laps at the press of a button, fastest and slowest highlighted, and a curve of your lap history with best, worst and average ā so you see exactly where you dropped off. Run several stopwatches at once for relays, training groups or two players at a board.
šŖ Workout plans
Build intervals from four blocks ā warm-up, exercise, rest, cool-down ā by drag and drop. While a plan runs, the entire screen takes the colour of the current block, readable from across the room, with 3-2-1 countdown beeps and a distinct tone at every block change. Pomodoro, Tabata and EMOM are built in and fully editable.
š No subscription, no ads, no account, no in-app purchases No internet needed at all. It works in flight mode. I have no running costs for it, so there's nothing to monetise and nothing to track.
On the voice side I deliberately shipped one reliable command rather than ten unreliable ones.
Available on Android and iOS. Happy to answer anything ā technical questions included.
