## What is Hinokoto Timer?

Hinokoto Timer is a multi-purpose timer for studying, work, cooking, workouts, HIIT, stretching, and daily routines.

It includes countdown, Pomodoro, interval, stopwatch, and multi-timer functions in one app.

It is the timer app from Hinokoto, a Japanese website with over 50 million page views. Select a timer for your purpose, then customize its time and behavior.

COMMON USES

- Managing study time for school, exams, or certifications
- Tracking work and break periods at home or in the office
- Timing several cooking or household tasks at once
- Managing strength, HIIT, boxing, and interval sessions
- Recording time by subject or exercise

UP TO 6 TIMERS AT ONCE

Create named countdowns such as Pasta, Oven, or Laundry, then run them simultaneously. Start, pause, resume, or reset each timer independently and see which tasks are complete. This can be used for cooking, chores, projects, and other activities that require multiple countdowns.

POMODORO TIMERS

Alternate work and break periods with the standard Pomodoro Timer. Advanced Pomodoro lets you set custom work time, break time, and rounds. Both can be used for studying, reading, desk work, and other timed tasks.

STUDY TIMERS

The Study Timer manages learning and break periods. The School Timer recreates a class-style schedule inspired by elementary school through university.

The Subject Timer places 12 stopwatches on one screen, so you can track math, languages, exam topics, or any subjects you choose. Rename and reorder them freely, or apply preset subject names in one step.
