RoutineLab Universal Interval Timer
What it is
RoutineLab Universal Interval Timer is an Android app for creating, playing, and sharing routines built from fixed time blocks. It is designed for exercise, study, focus work, and creative work. The editor supports steps, repeating cycles, durations, and guided actions, while templates help users organize and reuse routines. Guidance can speak text, play beeps, vibrate, or display text; spoken actions can temporarily lower other audio. Routines export to PDF, and RoutineLab PDFs can be imported as working routines. Light and dark themes are available. The Free plan costs nothing and includes a fully functional builder and player, limited PDF export, and no backup or restore. Premium is a one-time upgrade, with price not listed, adding backup and restore, unlimited sharing, and smart PDF import and export. Routines, templates, and preferences stay on the device. The app says it collects no personal data and has no ads, tracking, or analytics.
