# Interval

> Interval is a meeting timer for Mac and iPhone (not a workout interval timer). Its screen-edge panel keeps upcoming meetings, countdowns to starts and endings, and overlap warnings in view. Manual notes are a supporting feature.

Interval is made by Cory Parry, trading as Interval. Official website: https://meetinterval.com/. Every page listed below has a Markdown version at the same URL with `.md` added (the homepage is https://meetinterval.com/index.md), and the indexable pages are available as one file at https://meetinterval.com/llms-full.txt.

Every website page also accepts `Accept: text/markdown`. Markdown contains readable page text; interactive purchases, key verification and downloads use the HTML website. Static purchase instructions are available at https://meetinterval.com/activate.md; this noindex workflow is excluded from the discovery bundle.

## Product facts

- Platform: macOS 26 or later (Mac); iOS 26 or later (iPhone, App Store, since 27 October 2026).
- Calendar: uses calendars available through Apple Calendar, with permission. Read-only: Interval never edits events or invitations. Calendar details are processed on the device.
- Google and Outlook: there is no separate Google or Outlook sign-in. Accounts whose events appear in Apple Calendar on the Mac can be selected in Interval.
- Primary meeting workflow: upcoming meetings, preparation countdown to the start, remaining-time countdown to the ending, supported call links, reminders and a five-minute personal-timer extension that leaves the calendar invitation unchanged.
- Call links: recognises supported Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex and FaceTime links in event details.
- Overlaps: visible orange “Overlaps with…” warnings beside conflicting selected-calendar events and a later-meetings list. These are not automatic rescheduling or a guarantee of separate conflict notifications.
- Screen placement: left, right, top or bottom edge; folds into a compact timer.
- Supporting notes: bullets, checklists, searchable notebook, note export and optional iCloud sync. Notes can be typed or drafted from a recording. Interval for Mac (1.2) includes opt-in microphone and Mac audio recording, on-device transcription and recoverable local drafts. Generated draft notes require supported Apple Intelligence hardware, language and settings; you can keep the transcript without it. Mac 1.2 is available from the Mac App Store; the website download is Mac 1.1. Recording never starts automatically. Microphone and Screen & System Audio Recording permission are required; inform everyone before recording. Mac audio may include other apps and notifications; no screen images are saved.
- iPhone: upcoming meetings, preparation countdown, time left and Live Activities; notes saved locally first with optional private iCloud sync. For a current in-person calendar meeting, Interval Pro can record nearby speech through the iPhone microphone and transcribe on-device, up to one hour. No phone calls, other apps' audio or voice memos.
- Account: no Interval account or sign-up, no advertising network and no cross-app tracking.
- Website access: lifetime access in GBP (£15.99), USD (US$19.99), EUR (€19.99) or AUD (A$29.99), paid once, with no recurring website billing. After purchase, Interval emails a download-page link and activation key. Paste the key on the download page to start the DMG download, install Interval, and use the same key to activate the app. The Stripe receipt is separate from the Interval activation email. You pay before downloading. One licence covers two Macs. Mac only; doesn't include iPhone. Automatic app updates are included. Website purchases are separate from App Store subscriptions.
- App Store access: Free download for Mac and iPhone. Interval Pro £4.99/month or £39.99/year in the UK (US$4.99 / US$39.99 in the US), with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Apple shows local pricing and trial eligibility before purchase. App Store and website purchases are separate.
- Availability: the website version is available now with lifetime access in GBP (£15.99), USD (US$19.99), EUR (€19.99) or AUD (A$29.99), paid once. Downloads unlock after payment confirmation. Mac 1.2 is available from the Mac App Store; the website download is Mac 1.1. Check the homepage for current availability.

## Who it suits

- Good fit: Mac users who spend much of the day on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex or FaceTime calls, keep meetings in calendars visible in Apple Calendar, and want to join and finish on time with a one-time purchase.
- Not a fit: unattended recording or guaranteed AI summaries on every Mac; automatic scheduling or rescheduling; time tracking or billable-hours reports; a shared room or agenda timer for a whole team; Windows or Android; phone-call recording; all-day or hands-free wearable recording.
