A: Yes. On iOS 26 or later, urgent timers ring as an alarm, even in Silent mode or a Focus. Q: Can Timer+ say the time out loud? A: Yes. Timers and routines can speak their name and the time remaining, and stopwatches can speak the elapsed time, even when your iPhone is locked. Q: Is Timer+ a good interval timer? A: Yes. Use Timer+ as an interval timer for HIIT, Tabata, and EMOM workouts. Start from a template, or build a routine with timed steps, rests, and spoken alerts. Q: What is included in Timer+ Pro? A: Timer+ Pro removes ads and unlocks unlimited saved timers, full timer history, advanced routines, and advanced announcements.
