Talking Timer is a timer app you can both see AND HEAR. It was initially developed for life drawing, so you know how long a pose or session will last while you focus on your work. But it has grown a lot since then. It is also useful anywhere you want to know how much time is left without constantly looking at your device — fitness routines, cooking, presentations, children’s activities, board games, or even colouring your hair! Talking Timer speaks the remaining time aloud, and now supports widgets, Live Activities and the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones, so your running timer can stay visible outside the app. Plus it's completely FREE. No adverts, no subscription, just free. I wrote it because I use it myself - and now you can too! :-) Terms of Use: Apple Standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Talking Timer Terms of Use and Disclaimer: https://www.clivebryant.com/page/48111/talking-timer-terms-of-use-and-disclaimer Privacy Policy: https://www.clivebryant.com/page/32545/app-privacy-policy
