Time the passage. Rest by your own multiplier.

Time a passage of any length. BrassPause uses that measured time and your chosen multiplier to set the next rest target, then counts the rest.

Coming soon to the App Store

The loop

Playing Tap Start playing. The timer counts up for as long as the passage takes. 01:12

Rest Tap Rest now. Your measured time times your multiplier becomes the rest target, and the rest counts down. 01:12 × 1 = 01:12

Your call Play again when you are ready. Past the target, the app keeps counting the rest you take.

The multiplier is your preference, not our advice. Choose one of the presets or set your own. Pause and resume freeze either phase, and paused time counts as neither playing nor rest.

Your sessions stay on the phone

Finish a session and BrassPause saves it on your device: the date, an optional label, your played and rested totals, and each passage with its target and the rest you took. Open one to see the passages, share a plain text summary through the iOS share sheet, or delete it.
