Auto Timer vs Basic Countdown Timer

In this application, there is no need to click anywhere to start or stop the timer. You just need to place the phone on the straight surface to start the timer and just keep the phone upright to stop the timer.

Count down to the things that matter in your day — the train you can't miss, the meeting that starts at 3pm, the school bus. Basic Countdown Timer keeps all your deadlines in one calm list. Each one ticks away on its own card, so you can see at a glance what's coming and how long you've got. Tap one for a full-screen dial that you can leave running on the side, while you get ready. WHY PEOPLE USE BASIC COUNTDOWN TIMER · Know how long you've got before an event Keep track of your time with a simple, easy-to-use interface. · All your deadlines, one glance Multiple countdowns run side by side. Active ones are sorted to the top and colour-tagged, so the next thing that matters is always the first thing you see. · Reuse the same countdown every day Set it up once, then switch it on with one tap. "Standup at 9:30" or "leave at 4:40". Then come back tomorrow, ready to go — no re-entering anything. · On your Lock Screen with Live Activities An armed countdown keeps ticking right on your Lock Screen, and a Home Screen control starts your regular countdowns in a tap. · Synced across iPhone and iPad with iCloud Set a countdown on one device, and it's waiting on your other device. Sync is automatic and private to your iCloud account, with no sign-up or setup needed. · Warned before time runs out (Pro) Ask for a nudge at 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes before the deadline — separately from the final alert, so a flight reminder and bedtime reminder can behave differently. · Make each one recognisable (Pro) Tag countdowns with a colour and a symbol — a red backpack for the school run, a plane for that flight — so you recognise them instantly, by sight or by VoiceOver. · Full-screen focus mode Tap a countdown to fill the screen with the dial. No controls, no clutter — just the time you have left. · A finished alert, not a silent failure When time is up, the countdown stays on screen with a chime until you acknowledge it. Nothing quietly expires while you're not looking. Basic Countdown Timer is built to feel at home on iOS: Live Activities, a Lock Screen presence, haptics, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver labels throughout, and the familiar swipe-to-delete. Your countdowns sync over iCloud, privately, to every iPhone and iPad signed in to your Apple ID. It's free to time three countdowns. Countdown Pro unlocks unlimited countdowns, colour and symbol tags, and early notifications, with one simple purchase, and no subscription.
