Centralize all the session timers in one screen

Rest, superset rest, timer countdown, attack time and specific rest and scattered through the Sessio timer options and the individual exercises Set parameters.
We need a page that shows all the timer options and gives an overview of the times for all exercises.
Extra option: separate rest time after sets of an exercise, and between that exercise and the next.

Looking forward for the beta. I'm a bit late to the discussion, I know, but I'd like to make a related feature request: Make rest times when doing pairs/triplets supersets (=a superset composed of exercises working on different muscle groups) auto adjust. What I mean by that is, easier with an example. Say you're doing a superset with 2 exercises, A and B, and you'd like a rest time of 90secs (between the end of one set of exercise A till the beginning of the next set of exercise A), rest time would be calculated taking into account how long it took to perform the set of exercise B. Here's a numeric example:
A[45sec] B[50sec] (rest 40sec) A[30sec] (rest 20sec) B[45sec] (rest 25sec) A....
I use the notation: A[40sec] for A took 45seconds for brevity.
You see the (rest XXsec) values are calculated dynamically so that the time from when you press done on a set of exercise B till you need to start the next set of A such that it's 90 seconds from the end of the previous set of A till you should start the next set of A (and a similar thing for exercise B).
This takes away the guess work, of setting the rest time to, say, 30 seconds and sometimes it's OK, sometimes it's a bit much b/c doing B took a bit longer or had a longer setup time.
Sorry for the wall of text, I hope it makes sense and I'm not too late (just started using this app last week).

sweaty-fatty I think you had already made that suggestion on Reddit, right? From what I understand, another way to phrase what you want is that you want to allow 90 seconds to complete exercise B, rest included. For that, you can set an "attack time" of 90 seconds for exercise B, and no "rest between exercises" right after it (with the new centralized timers system in beta-testing). Please try it our and let me know what you think!

Louis Deveseleer Yes, that was me. Sorry for the double post, I learned about this feedback forum only after I made the reddit post, and I thought it might get more feedback (positive or negative) here. Also, maybe making a separate feature request would've been better.
Regarding your suggestion: attack time is a countdown timer for completing a set, correct? So let's try your suggestion in theory using the exercise duration from my example abve. I start the superset, 90 seconds start counting down, I complete the 1st set of A in 45secs and want to jump in exercise B without rest (since it's a separate muscle group entirely) so I click done on the set then the timer starts ticking down 90 seconds again. I finish the 1st set of B in 50 seconds, and wait till the 90 seconds to tick down, resting 40secs. So far so good. Now the clock starts ticking down 90 seconds again, I do set 2 of exercise A in 30secs, 60 secs remaining, but I "should" rest only 20 seconds, because what you suggested doesn't account for the 40 seconds of rest I took between the 1st set of B and the 2nd set of A.
Edit: Of course, that's just a simple toy example with two exercises trying to keep it simple. My motivation with this request is time-saving, and that's even more pronounced if you're routine calls for a 2 minute rest between sets, where you can squeeze in 3 exercises in a superset (push pull legs, for example) or even more.

sweaty-fatty Thanks for the explanation! I think that having a rest time that dynamically adapts to the amount of rest you've taken previously is a bit complicated to be honest and I'm not sure the benefit of doing that is worth the extra complexity. The new timers configuration is already pretty flexible and I wouldn't want to make it more complex...

in progress
We're working this month on a large update to facilitate the edition of the program structure and that includes centralizing all the timers!

Use case by Andrea Ceolin :
"I'm trying to plan a workout with multiple little circuits with 2 exercise for circuit, I want to add 10 second rest time between repetitions of an circuit and 2 minuts rest time between different circuit. For example some like this scheme: [20" squat, 20" mountain climber, 10" rest] x 8 times - 2 minutes rest time - [20" Burpee, 20" lateral jumping, 10" rest] x 8 times - 2 minutes rest time - ........ etc..."
