Timer Options

Adding other types of timers and the ability to use them during a workout. Currently, there is the rest timer and the exercise timer if the exercise is done for time.
Would be nice to have timer options like EMOM, AMRAP, TABATA, HIIT, etc.
Although the mentioned timers are mainly used in CrossFit, they can be useful for hybrid athletes as well. For example, sometimes I like to do EMOM for pull ups and/or dips at the beginning of an upper body workout.

All kinds of timers, such as the ones you mentioned, can already be programmed in Calistree, by using a combination of rest time, specific rest time, superset inner rest, attack time and specific attack time. But those options are scatterered through the Session timer options and the exercises' Set parameters.
There is a plan to centralize them: https://calistree.canny.io/requests/p/centralize-all-the-session-timers-in-one-screen
Once all of the timer options are centralized, it'd be a good idea to also add shortcuts to easily create standard structures such as EMOM, AMRAP, TABATA, ...

Louis Deveseleer Is there a chance those timer shortcuts to be added as a drop down menu options in exercise parameters the way we now have “time” and “repetitions” ?
Louis Deveseleer
Vladimir Maglov We actually just worked on this and it didn't really make sense to add shortcuts, because setting those special timers is so easy with the new timers organization. You just need to tweak the Rest timer and the Auto-play timer values to create any timed workout structure you want. So the next app version will contain an info dialog to explain this in the Timers section of the parameters.
