Round alerts you can feel
A sound and a haptic pulse at every three-minute boundary, so you can switch pace without pulling the phone out.
Walk slow.
Then walk fast.
The Japanese walking method, kept honest by a timer. Three minutes easy, three minutes brisk, ten rounds — thirty minutes, and you never have to watch the clock.

Method
One protocol. Ten rounds. Nothing to decide mid-walk.
Interval Walking Training alternates brisk effort with easy recovery instead of holding one steady pace. Interval Walk keeps the rhythm for you: a chime and a buzz at every boundary, a ring that shows exactly where you are.
Slow walk — comfortable, conversational
Fast walk — brisk, above an easy stroll
10 × 3:00 = 30:00
Built for the walk
A timer that stays out of your way
Start it, put the phone in your pocket, and walk. Everything else is handled.
Steps counted per round
The device step detector banks your steps round by round, so you can see how the fast segments compare to the slow ones.
Survives a restart
The clock is derived from wall-clock time, not a counter. If Android kills the app mid-session, the walk picks up exactly where it should be.
Nothing leaves your phone
The app has no internet permission at all. No account, no ads, no analytics, no crash reporting — the walk log is yours alone.
A log worth keeping
Every finished session is saved with its date, duration, and per-round steps, so a habit becomes something you can actually look back on.
Quiet by design
Washi-paper light, sumi-ink dark, and a display that follows your system theme. Mincho headings, tabular timer digits, no clutter.
Why walk this way
The same thirty minutes, asked to do more
Interval walking has been researched as an exercise method. Interval Walk only times the rounds — what it changes for you varies from person to person.
01
More effort in the same time
Switching pace can feel more demanding than walking at one speed for the same thirty minutes.
02
A harder cardio stimulus
The faster segments are meant to raise your effort above an easy stroll. How much that changes fitness varies from person to person.
03
A fixed protocol
Ten three-minute rounds — five slow, five fast — keep the session structured without needing to watch a clock.
04
More demand on the legs
The faster three-minute segments ask more of your legs than an easy walk does.
05
Keeps the session moving
Alternating slow and fast gives the walk a clear rhythm and a next target every three minutes.

Privacy
Offline is not a feature here. It's the whole design.
Interval Walk holds no internet permission, so it cannot phone home even by accident. Your walk history and in-progress session are excluded from cloud backup and device transfer.
