PortalTimer is a companion timer for Ingress agents. Put one panel per hacked portal and count three things at once: the time until you can hack again, the hacks you have left, and the four-hour burn-out. Features - One panel per portal: name, faction and four mod slots - Cooldown: 5 minutes on enemy portals / 3 on friendly ones, shortened by the rarity of your Heat Sinks - Hack count: 4 plus your Multi-hacks; the counter turns to the warning colour past 3/4 of the limit - Burn-out: after the cooldown of the hack that reached the limit, the panel becomes a four-hour bar (auto-start is a setting) - Sojourner (23 h 30 min), Virus and Drone (1 h each) timers - Local notifications and haptics when a timer ends - Home Screen (small, medium) and Lock Screen widgets; start and stop timers from the widget - Two looks: eXotic (Ingress Prime style hex badge) and Circle (ring) - Portal panels live in your iCloud and follow you to your other iPhones No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. Donations are optional in-app purchases that unlock nothing. PortalTimer is an unofficial app, unrelated to Niantic, and never connects to the game.
