Pass the Timer is a count down timer with seconds, minutes, and hours. It allows multiple timers. But what makes this timer unique is its ability to share your timer with any of your contacts. If you can message a contact, then you can send them a timer. Great for coordinating family and school groups. The timer can be shared from the main view as the timer is started or during the display, as long as there is at least 60 seconds remaining. Notifications notify the timer creator as well as the recipients, as long as they have opened their shared timer in the Messages extension.

Big life changes do not start big. They start with one small habit, done today, done again tomorrow. HabitKit turns those daily wins into a colorful grid of tiles, one square for every day you show up, so you can finally see yourself becoming the person you want to be. That visible progress is the whole secret behind HabitKit, a beautifully simple habit tracker. When your grid looks this good, you will not want to stop. Fill the tiles, protect your streak, and let consistency do the heavy lifting. Whether you want to work out more, read every night, meditate, drink more water, save money, or finally quit smoking, HabitKit gives every goal the same simple loop: do it, log it, watch the grid grow. No guilt trips, just daily habit tracking that feels rewarding. BUILD GOOD HABITS, QUIT BAD ONES Create the habits you want to grow, or flip it around and quit a habit: every day counts as clean until you log a slip, and your streak counts your clean days in a row. You can even set a daily maximum, like two coffees a day, and simply stay under it instead of going cold turkey. TRACK YOUR HABITS YOUR WAY Check a day off with a simple yes or no, count reps like glasses or pages, or measure amounts with your own unit, like 2 L of water or 7.5 km of running. Set daily goals and flexible schedules that fit your routine: every day, specific intervals, or a number of times per week or month. YOUR PROGRESS AT A GLANCE Every habit gets its own tile grid, like a contribution graph, and every completed day fills in a square. See all your habits together on one dashboard, switch between Classic, Compact, and Split views, and share a beautiful snapshot of your progress when you hit a milestone. One glance tells you the whole story: what you did, what you missed, and how far you have come. WIDGETS FOR YOUR HOME SCREEN Put your favorite habits right on your home screen with small, medium, and multi-habit widgets. Your grids stay in sight, so your goals stay on your mind. Widgets follow your theme too, all the way to pure black dark mode. REMINDERS AT THE RIGHT TIME Get a friendly nudge exactly when you need it, and never forget a habit again. Add a daily check-in to review your whole day, and with Pro, up to three reminders per habit. STATISTICS, STREAKS, AND NOTES Watch your current streak grow, chase your best streak, and set streak goals for extra motivation. Dive into completion statistics and monthly charts, manage past days in the calendar, and add a short note to any day: what went well, what got in the way. MAKE IT YOURS Give every habit its own color and icon, or use any emoji. Organize your dashboard with categories and filters, reorder everything with drag and drop, and pick light, dark, or system theme, including a pure black mode for OLED screens. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No ads. Your habit data stays on your device, and the app works completely offline. HABITKIT PRO HabitKit is free to use with up to four habits, including streaks, the calendar, notes, reminders, and exporting and importing backups. Pro unlocks unlimited habits, charts and statistics, home screen widgets, restoring archived habits, and up to three reminders per habit. Subscribe monthly or yearly, or pay once and keep Pro forever with the lifetime option. Every upgrade supports an independent developer. Start free, see if the grid pulls you in, and upgrade whenever you are ready. You do not need a new life. You need one small habit and a place to see it grow. Download HabitKit and place your first tile today. Terms of Use: https://www.habitkit.app/tos/ Privacy Policy: https://www.habitkit.app/privacy/
