Build a timer that walks through your routine, one named step at a time. Interval Timer for Tasks lets you chain intervals into a single timer. Give each interval its own name, duration, sound and colour, and the app calls out every step as it passes. Watch the progress ring wind down, or close the app and let a notification tell you when the current interval has ended. Save as many timers as you like, and run more than one at the same time. Add a start delay so you can get ready, and a finish delay so you can wrap up. LOCK SCREEN ALARMS Turn on Lock Screen Alarm for a timer and each interval rings like a system alarm, so it still reaches you when the screen is off. Requires iOS 26.1 or later.

We are a husband and wife who text each other a lot, because we love each other... a lot. We built this app for us and we have been using it to communicate by text in a whole new way... by talking! We designed Talk Fast to be the fastest and most accurate way to talk your text messages, with a simple and fluid workflow that results in your text ready to paste anywhere you need it. Just push Talk, start talking, push Stop, and your message is ready to be copied into iMessage, WhatsApp, your email, or wherever you need it. Go back and copy your old transcriptions at any time; Talk Fast saves your last 50 messages. Check your usage stats in the Settings and buy more Talk Time. When you buy Talk Time, you get 2.5 hours of talk time on world-class transcription servers hosted by OpenAI and powered by OpenAI Whisper. You may ask why we are not using a private, offline version of Whisper like many other transcription apps, or why not just use Siri? Simply, they are not as fast or as accurate. Our focus is on making this a solid daily tool that you can use for transcription - that you can truly count on. We haven't found anything else as fast or as reliable and we built Talk Fast with a lot of attention and care to speed and reliability. We do not store your audio files or transcriptions in iCloud or anywhere else besides your iPhone. Our privacy policy and OpenAI Whisper's privacy policy can be found at: https://letstalkabout.app/privacy No need to buy a subscription. You only pay for transcription time in smaller chunks, as you consume them. Try Talk Fast: you will get hooked faster than you think!
