This is a timer to see all progress at a glance. You can give each timer a title of your choice, set the time, and sort it freely. When the timer starts, each bar will animate in order from the top, along with the countdown display. It notifies by sound from 3 seconds before the countdown ends. Repeat playback of the timer group is also possible. If you save the group you created in the list, you can call it immediately at any time. It counts even in the background and notifies you properly even when locked. Use it to create workout menus, manage the cooking process, and manage various other schedules.
