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.

The AI lawn care app that builds your perfect lawn care schedule — based on your grass type, your local weather, and the time you actually have. Stop guessing. Start growing. YardIQ is the smart lawn care assistant that plans your mowing, fertilising, watering and weed control week by week — and adapts when the weather changes. No generic lawn care calendars. No horticulture degree required. Just a clear, personalised lawn care plan that actually works. — WHAT YARDIQ DOES — YardIQ is a complete lawn care app that builds a personalised grass care schedule for your specific lawn. It looks at your grass type, lawn size, location and the live weather forecast, then tells you exactly what to do and when — lawn mowing, fertilising, lawn feed, watering, scarifying, overseeding, weed control, moss treatment and more. Every lawn care task is timed around real conditions. YardIQ won't tell you to fertilise before heavy rain, mow on frosted ground, or overseed in the wrong season. Your lawn care schedule works around your availability, so tasks land on the days you're actually free. — KEY FEATURES — - Personalised lawn care schedule — tailored to your grass type, lawn size and location - Weather-aware lawn planning — tasks adjust to forecast rain, frost and drought - Snap & Analyse — photograph your lawn and get an instant AI lawn health assessment - Grass identification — identify your grass species from a single photo - Lawn health score — track your lawn's condition over time - AI Lawn Coach — ask any lawn care question and get specific answers for your grass - Clear reasoning — see why each lawn care task was scheduled, not just what to do - Product suggestions — recommended lawn feed, fertiliser and weed control products from brands you recognise - Smart reminders — get notified when it's time to mow, water or feed - Progress tracking — watch your lawn improve season after season — WHO IT'S FOR — YardIQ is built for anyone who wants a healthier lawn without the guesswork: - New homeowners learning lawn care from scratch - Gardeners tired of generic lawn care calendars and one-size-fits-all advice - Anyone fixing a patchy, mossy or stressed lawn - Lawn enthusiasts who want a smarter, weather-aware grass care plan - Busy people who just want to know what to do this weekend Whether you're starting from bare soil or maintaining a great lawn, YardIQ gives you a plan you can actually follow. — HOW IT WORKS — 1.

Get your personalised weekly lawn care schedule, built around the weather 4. Follow the plan, mark tasks done, and watch your lawn transform YardIQ learns from what you've already done, so your lawn care plan never repeats recent work and always builds on your progress. — PRICING — YardIQ is free to download and use, supported by ads. A monthly subscription removes ads. Some AI features (lawn photo analysis and the AI Lawn Coach) use credits. Credit availability and any included amounts are shown in the app before you use them. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple ID. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
