Rest Timer with Auto-Restart
A between-sets rest countdown that restarts itself the moment you tap after every set, with a running set counter and quick 60/90/120s presets. No re-entering the time. Works offline.
Built by the AbraCalc team
How to play
- Set your rest duration in seconds, or tap a 60/90/120s preset.
- Optionally set a target number of sets, or leave it at 0 for an open-ended session.
- Tap Start to go full screen — the rest countdown begins immediately.
- Tap anywhere when your set is done: the set counter increments and rest restarts automatically.
Lifting is stop-and-go: you finish a set, rest a fixed amount of time, then go again — and re-typing the timer every round gets old fast. This tool solves that by making a single tap do everything: pick your rest length (or grab a 60/90/120 second preset), tap Start, and when you finish each set just tap anywhere on the full-screen countdown. That tap logs the set, bumps your set counter, and restarts the rest clock from the full duration with no drift and no button-hunting. Set an optional target number of sets and the timer will stop auto-restarting and celebrate once you hit it, or leave it open-ended and just keep tapping through as many sets as you want.
Frequently asked questions
- What counts as 'auto-restart'?
- When Auto-restart is checked, the moment the rest countdown hits zero it immediately begins counting down again from the full configured duration for your next set — you never have to tap Start again mid-workout, only tap the screen once each set is finished.
- How is this different from the Superset Rest Tracker?
- This tool times rest for a single exercise between sets, restarting the same countdown on every tap. The Superset Rest Tracker instead cycles through two or more named exercises back-to-back with no rest between them, then times a rest only after the whole superset round is complete.
- What's the shortest rest I can set?
- 15 seconds is the minimum — long enough for the countdown and audio cues to be meaningful, short enough for fast-paced circuit-style rest periods between exercises.
