## What is Widget Timer?

Widget Timer puts beautiful, customizable timers right on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Pick the timer type that fits the moment, style it to match your setup, and keep it only a glance away.

Every timer type, in one app:

- Countdown: count down the days to a birthday, holiday, wedding, or trip, and let it roll over automatically every year.
- Count Up: track the time since an anniversary, a milestone, or the day you started something new.
- Progress: see how far through the week, month, quarter, or year you are.
- Stopwatch: count elapsed time up from zero, starting and stopping as you go.
- Standard: a simple one-shot timer that counts down (or up) to a set duration.
- Repeat: a timer that repeats a set number of times, or infinitely, for periodic reminders like stretching or drinking water.

Widgets, done right:

- add timer widgets to your Home Screen and Lock Screen
- interactive widgets, so you can start and stop your timers without opening the app
- customize the theme of each widget, or pick one from a gallery of over 50 themes

More to love:

- run as many timers as you like, all at once
- name every timer (emoji supported)
- lots of alert sounds to choose from
- multiple finished modes
- local notifications alert you when the app is in the background (no network required)
- long press to re-order the timers on the main screen
- works with Siri and Shortcuts

### 3/5 — Great except for sound notifications

*2026-08-05*

Exactly the kind of thing I need, except that if you create and add a widget  it won’t play the alert sounds unless you go into the app itself. Useless for what I need for because of this tiny issue. Pls fix it

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review. Yeah it’s a tough one, to make the audio play when the app isn’t running needs background modes which is a compromise. The notifications don’t make a sound if your phone is on silent which is usually the case. Contact me via the in app support email for more info.

### 5/5 — Wonderful little app.

*2026-06-16, version 3.4.2*

Great app since Apple is goofy and won’t let me add the Timer to my lockscreen widgets smh. 👍

### 4/5 — Works good enough

*2026-06-10*

Works well but for the countdown feature I need to tap the widget in order for it to update

### 5/5 — Best on the App Store

*2026-05-20*

Have searched for a long time for a simplistic widget timer that counts down, these seems to be it.

### 2/5 — たまに音が鳴らない

*2026-04-28, version 3.3.1*

のが不便

### 4/5 — One Thing.

*2026-04-01*

It is a great and easy to use! Has a widget that can be seen on the lockscreen and on the homepage. Only thing is you need to pay to have any more than one timer. Besides that, Its exsactly what I was looking for.

### 1/5 — Nonstop draining battery

*2026-03-26, version 3.3.1*

Nonstop draining battery

### 5/5 — Good Stuff

*2025-07-29*

Timers whenever you need it. Works perfect

### 4/5 — Huh??

*2025-07-28*

I can’t find how to set up multiple timers on my Home Screen.

### 5/5 — バグ？

*2025-03-28, version 3.3.1*

タイマー終了の通知が鳴り止む前に、次のタイマーを起動すると、音が止まらなくなります。
