### 5/5 — Amazing: the App and Dev

*2026-03-23, version 3.2.8*

I was looking for a timer app that could do what this could.  I didn’t mind paying, as long as it wasn’t a subscription.  

I quickly realised that the app was missing a history, most of the ones I was considering had a history feature, but also inappropriately heavy subscription fees.  

I wrote Aaron and asked if he was going to add a history feature.  He said he would if there was demand, AND THEN WENT AHEAD AND WROTE SCRIPTS/SHORTCUTS FOR ME THAT GAVE ME A HISTORY!!!!

Only the last one but believe me that is all I needed.  This guy is a genius.  

The simple fact that he left this app open to so much customisation and possibility just blew me away.  

Aaron (A*Aron), thank you so very much!

### 5/5 — Nice Product

*2025-11-20*

I like this app. It doesn’t collect data and has nifty functionality with the shortcuts integration. Bought the pro for one time $4.99. Thanks 👍

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-11-01*

Great!

### 4/5 — Best Timer App that Syncs Across Devices

*2025-08-29, version 3.2.5*

I’ve really enjoyed using Just Timers — the ability to sync timers and their states across my devices is exactly what I needed, and it’s become a key part of my productivity system. The design is clean and it feels lightweight but powerful.
One feature I’d love to see on the Mac app is the option to have a timer appear directly in the menu bar. That would make it much easier to glance at the remaining time without needing to keep the main window open, and it would fit perfectly with how I (and I imagine many others) use timers during work sessions.
Thanks for building such a great app — it’s already a big help for me, and adding menu bar support on Mac would make it even better.

### 5/5 — Excellent app - rare timer non-data collector

*2025-01-13, version 3.2.5*

Rare timer non-data collector

### 1/5 — Timer continues and continues to open shortcuts

*2025-01-04*

The repeat function is off and yet after the timer goes off the first time and opens a shortcut, it will run the same short cut repeatedly. The repeat function is off. All the functions are off except the run shortcut.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that, please reach out to support@justtimers.app so I can assist further with this issue

### 1/5 — Even with Critical Alerts on, no sound

*2024-12-07*

Ugg

**Developer response:** Hi can you contact me at support@justtimers.app ? This is usually an easy fix

### 1/5 — No sound??

*2024-10-17*

So glad I paid $5 for this useless app to NOT actually notify me of anything no matter what I do.

**Developer response:** Hey sorry you’re having issues but it should produce sound. If you can reach out to support@justtimers.app I can try to get you squared away

### 1/5 — Notifications just won’t stop

*2024-10-05*

Paid for Tier 2. After a timer completed, the notifications would just not stop. They kept coming and coming, no matter what I did. I acknowledged the notification. Stopped the timer. Ultimately I just had to delete the app to get it to stop.

### 3/5 — Too many problems

*2024-05-20*

The app has the potential to solve multiple problems including the lack of iCloud syncing in the native timer app. The problem is that the app in its current state is underdeveloped. There are too many problems. For one thing the timer doesn’t sound if your device is on silent mode. This alone is a deal breaker for me. The settings are not straight forward and there’s a bit of a learning curve. There’s no way to set a default sound I’m finding myself changing the alarm sound each time I set a new timer. The iCloud sync feature did not reliably work for me in the couple of trials I had. I paid for tier 2 in the spirit of supporting the developer as they seem to be active and working on the app. I’m sure it will one day get there!

### 3.2.5 — 2024-06-08

this *should* fix a long-standing issue with syncing between the watch and phone. if you still find you are having issues with sync, please reach out to me at support@justtimers.app to see if we can’t narrow things down more.

other fixes in this version:

- the "silence (vibrate only)" alert setting should work again (note: critical alerts seem to override this and always play the system sound)

- the "stop playback" alert setting should work again (but keep in mind it only works if the app is in front. the screen can be locked, but the app must be front)

---

previous version notes:


What's new:

- Run Actions
	- Now open URLs and Run Shortcuts for any timer action! Rather than just timer expiration, you can now open URLs and Run Shortcuts for actions like starting/stopping a timer, pausing, lapping a stopwatch, and next/previous interval.

	NOTE: Run Actions can only run automatically when the app is open. If running from the background using Shortcuts or similar, the app may need opened first.

- New Alert Sounds
	- Ding
	- Gong 1
	- Gong 2

- Filtering
	- Added an "Any/All" toggle to change the behavior of filter matching criteria. These also apply to Shortcuts, Widgets and x-callback-url filtering (use match=any or all)

- Stopwatch
	- When using Stopwatch in focus view there is now a toggle above the time to switch between showing the current lap time and total time


Fixed:

- Intervals unexpectedly getting skipped

- Bug where timer is full screen and bottom buttons don't change with play/pause state.

- A bunch of bugs in the timer editor page should be fixed

- Fixed a bug where "Repeat Alerts" being disabled would still cause alerts to repeat

- Fixes to Run Actions not firing even with the app open

- When creating a new timer in the Watch app, there is a new row of icons across the top to make it more clear there are multiple pages and which page is active

- Fixed an issue with interval timers where the sound wouldn't play when the app is open

- Fixed a UI issue with the intervals button

- Fixed Shortcuts actions not working on Stopwatch
