What's New in Timely
3.1
September 20, 2026
Heads-up alarms (Pro) Get a second alarm ahead of an event: 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes before, or the day before. The heads-up tells you when the event really starts, a countdown runs on your Lock Screen until then, and the alarm at the start always stays. Turn it on in Settings. This replaces "ring 1–3 minutes early"; if you used that, you now have a 5-minute heads-up. Fixed: countdown alarms rang late An alarm with a Lock Screen countdown rang late by the length of its countdown—a 9:00 alarm with a 15-minute countdown rang at 9:15. It now counts down to the time you set and rings on time. Alarms you already have are corrected the first time you open this version. Also in this update - Reschedule a one-off event you've armed and its alarm moves with it the next time Timely is open. - Making an alarm from text selected in Notes now works. - The custom alarm form explains that heads-ups are for calendar events, and tells you when an event starts too soon for one. - All new wording is translated in all nine languages, and two untranslated Settings labels are fixed. In case you missed them in 3.0 - Send an alarm or an event countdown in Messages. The other person adds it to their Timely with a tap. - Select text like "Dentist Thursday at 2:30pm" anywhere, share it to Timely, and get a filled-in alarm.
