TimerSwipe is a β€œno-look” countdown timer: swipe anywhere on the screen to start the timer and receive audio or vibration feedback when the timer begins and ends. It's perfect for any time when you need to be able to start a short countdown timer without looking at your iPhone's screen. I use it to time awkward stretches during physical therapy and workouts. Features: * Create and save timers of your preferred duration * Favorite a timer with a heart and TimerSwipe will open directly to that timer * Full VoiceOver support * Thatβ€˜s it! TimerSwipe is a no-frills app that gets out of your way so you can start counting down
