Extremely well done. Simple, effective, great integration with reminders and alarms. Quite useful. Josh makes good stuff!

### 5/5 — The timer to rule all timers

*2026-06-07*

How did Apple not think of all these features? Such an intuitive app!

### 5/5 — Wunderschön Minimalistisch

*2025-04-06*

Ein eleganter Timer in minimalistischem Darkmode-Design. 
Die Animationen laufen butterweich und sind schön anzusehen. Es gibt die Möglichkeit den Timer mit einem Kalender zu verknüpfen. Dank eines umfangreichen URL- Schemas lässt er sich auch wunderbar in Kurzbefehlen nutzen. Volle Empfehlung!

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-06-01

This is a HUGE update that brings some great new features:
- iOS 26 support - hello Liquid Glass!
- Live Activities & Dynamic Island support - see all your timers on the lock screen
- Timers with Alarms (iOS 26) - full-screen take over, even if the app is closed or your phone is in Silent Mode!
- New caching screen on cold launch for a snappier experience 

There is also lots of bug fixes and improvements under the hood!
- Fixes the issue where timers could be off by 1 second (e.g., create a 5 min timer -> 4min 59sec timer is created)
- Fixes the issue where sometimes timers would stay in the UI after being deleted
- It is now easier to change the reminder list when timers are running
- Should fix the issue where the timer list would get reset back to 're:view' randomly
- Should fix the issue when the onboarding screen pops up after a reboot sometimes

This will be the last version on iOS 18, for future updates, please update to iOS 26.

Thank you so much for your support. If you enjoy using the app please leave a review or send me an email. I love hearing from you guys!

And always, I hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!

### 1.1 — 2025-08-22

This is a small update, but it brings some nice enhancements:
- Added a new URL scheme
- Added a new What’s New screen
- Changed Early Reminders to now use the language "in 5 minutes" instead of "in 5 m" (which is really helpful when used with Announce Notifications) 
- Some small bug fixes and improvements (mostly around importing events from the Calendar)

Thank you so much for using my app. I hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!
