What's New in Countdown Redesigned Dashboard – Your New Home Screen We've completely reimagined the home screen to eliminate empty states and make starting a timer faster than ever. Gone are the days of staring at a blank screen wondering where to begin. Your dashboard now includes: Quick Start Row — Tap any common duration (1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 25, 30, 45 minutes) to start instantly Most Used Section — See your go-to durations ranked by frequency, so what you use most is always within reach Favorites Hub — Star your preferred presets to create a personalized quick-access section Recent Timers — Instantly restart any timer you've used before with one tap, complete with custom labels and exact durations Preset Browser — Browse curated timer collections organized by category (Cooking, Fitness, Work, Focus, Productivity, Breaks, and more) Feature Tips — Subtle, dismissible pointers to features you might not have discovered, keeping the interface clean while guiding discovery The dashboard is intelligent—it learns what you use and adapts to your needs. Whether you're brand new or a power user, there's always a clear path to your next timer. Multiple Concurrent Timers – Run Everything at Once You asked for it, we built it. Now run up to 5 timers simultaneously, each completely independent with its own countdown, custom label, and notification. Perfect for: Cooking multiple dishes at different temperatures Workout intervals where you're tracking rest periods, exercise blocks, and recovery Project management where different tasks need separate deadlines Caregiving situations with multiple time-sensitive activities Each timer displays prominently on your dashboard, sorted by which finishes soonest. Pause one, complete another, add a third—they all manage independently. No more juggling apps or frantically resetting a single timer. Categorized Presets & Favorites System We've organized preset timers into thoughtful categories, making it faster to find exactly what you need without endless scrolling. New features: Smart Categories — Presets organized by use case (Cooking, Fitness, Work, Productivity, Focus, Breaks, and more) One-Tap Browsing — Tap a category to see all relevant presets with descriptions Star System — Mark any preset as a favorite to pin it to your dashboard's dedicated Favorites section Sync Across Devices — Your favorites follow you from iPhone to iPad to Watch via iCloud Whether you're a fitness enthusiast timing HIIT workouts or a home cook perfecting your recipes, finding the right preset is now faster and more intuitive. Interactive Onboarding Flow First-time users now get a beautifully animated, interactive introduction to Countdown's key capabilities. The onboarding flow gently guides you through essential features without overwhelming, then steps aside so you can work. Onboarding covers: Quick-start timer creation Multiple concurrent timers Lock Screen Live Activities Widget installation Siri voice control Favorites and presets You can replay the onboarding anytime from Settings if you want to rediscover features or show someone else how Countdown works. Apple Watch App – Timers on Your Wrist Countdown now comes to your Apple Watch, giving you full timer control without reaching for your iPhone.
