## What is Laundry Timer?

Laundry Timer is a weather app and timer dedicated drying your washing outside. It estimates how long your laundry will take to dry based on local weather conditions and helps you plan which are the best times / days to hang out your washing. It takes into account temperature, solar energy, humidity, wind speed and cloud cover.

Save energy and reduce wear and tear on your clothes by drying them outside more often! 

Features include:

- Multiple timers to reflect the drying rates of different fabric types (from light fabrics such as bed sheets to heavy fabrics such as towels).
- Three day drying rate forecast (upgradable to 7 days) showing changes in the estimated drying rate throughout each day.
- Future drying time estimates: check how long your washing will take to dry for future times / days
- Notifications when your laundry is estimated to be dry.
- Warnings about adverse conditions such as rain or high gusts of wind.
- Charts showing how dry your laundry items are estimated to be at a given time.
- Settings to calibrate the timers to better suit our own laundry items.

Laundry Timer can be useful all year round:

Autumn / Winter: Laundry Timer can be particularly useful in cooler conditions when it can be hard to judge how long it will take for your laundry to dry.

- Use the app help you find the best days to plan a wash, and find out how early you need to put your clothes out for them to be dry by the end of the day.
- Laundry can still dry on cold days, given the right humidity and wind speed. But even if your laundry is unlikely to be fully dry by the end of the day, you can use the app to estimate whether it will be almost dry. This way you can reduce drying costs by partially drying your laundry outside, before putting it in the dryer to finish the job. To do this tap the relevant fabric type to view the chart. From here you can look up time you want to bring your laundry in, to see how dry it is estimated to be at that time.


Spring / Summer: On warm sunny days you don’t always need much help in determining whether or not your laundry will dry. However Laundry timer can be useful in other ways:

- If you’re putting out your laundry out later in the day it’s not always obvious your clothes will be dry in time. Use laundry timer to determine if there is enough time to put a late wash on. To do this, tap the timer icon in the current day in the Forecast tab, then drag the slider to the appropriate time (based on how long your wash cycle is). You can then see the estimated drying times at that time.
- It’s best not to leave bright or dark coloured fabrics out in direct sunlight for too long to avoid them fading. Use laundry timer to remind you when your clothes are likely to be dry so they don't need to be out longer than necessary. You can also turn fabrics inside out to keep colours vibrant.
- If you have multiple loads of washing to get through and limited drying space, you can use Laundry Timer to help judge when to put a new load of washing on. That way you can time it so the previous load is dry by the time the next load is ready to hang out.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2026-05-30*

An amazing app which takes out all the guess work for uk weather

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-03-31*

This app is great, it simplifies the decision to run my washing machine during the day. I have solar panels without a battery and, at a glance, can see if there will (likely) be enough sunshine to wash followed by enough sunshine and wind to dry outside. If possible, a notification to bring it in because it won’t be dry by a certain time would be great (eg “it’s raining now and there isn’t enough drying time after” or “it’s raining now but there might be enough drying time after”). Thank you :)

### 5/5 — Delightful

*2026-03-03*

I love the way this app has the timer for different types of fabric, how it pulls current weather and wind speed, how it warns me if it’ll rain (so useful!), and how I can adjust information such as cloud coverage if the forecast is incorrect.  I truly get a kick out of using this app every weekend when I do my laundry. Mahalo nui (from Hawai’i) for creating it!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-09-07*

This is a fantastic app incredibly accurate and really useful. I use it every laundry day to work out when to hang clothes out and when to expect them to be dry. 
The application takes into account so many different data points wind sunshine temperature All relevant to your location. I’ve been using the shade part of the app and found it’s added additional accuracy.

Overall, I would highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-05-31*

super helpful. opening the app to check the best time to dry laundry is very quick and easy

### 5/5 — Helpful app

*2024-12-29*

Saved me hanging a load of laundry outside today, as it predicted it would take 42 hours to dry in the current conditions!
Agree that widgets would be good and maybe additional timers for indoor drying times based on room temperature, how clothes are hung, if dehumidifier is running etc.
Brilliant app, looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

### 5/5 — Can’t get enough!!!

*2024-12-09*

This is the first review I’ve ever written—that’s how much I love this app! As a young adult (still a child at heart), I’m figuring out how to tackle grown-up things like chores, cleaning, and laundry. I honestly have no idea what I’m doing most of the time, but this app has been a game-changer. It helps me figure out things like whether I should use the dryer or how long my laundry will take. Hands down, the most useful app I’ve ever downloaded!

### 5/5 — Aussie watching clothes drying

*2024-06-17*

Always wanted to know this. The forecast appears to match the approaching changes correctly. The day and time scale font has too many zeros but the vertical line shows current time. Brilliant app.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-03-02*

Helps me target the best days/times to hang clothes outside and then helps me remember when to go check on them.

### 5/5 — Great app, Add widgets

*2023-08-23*

Great app, I think it’s worth the pro version with forecasting but this app needs widgets as well
