Instant Timer vs Timers & Alarms

START TIMERS INSTANTLY With Instant Timer, you can start timers quicker than with other apps. HOW IT WORKS Other timer apps usually require you to first set a duration before the timer can start. With Instant Timer, it's the other way around: First, you start a new timer. Then, while this timer is already running, you set its duration. This is why timers can be started so quickly with Instant Timer. LESS STRESS With Instant Timer, you first start a timer and then set the duration afterward. That way you can take the stress out of the moment and set the duration when it suits you best. GREAT FOR COOKING Imagine you are cooking. The water boils, but you also must hurry to finish chopping the vegetables. You quickly put the ingredients into the water - but for how long again? Take the heat out of the moment: Start a timer for the water now, finish chopping the vegetables, and then you have all the time in the world to dig out the recipe and set the water timer's duration accordingly.

The timer and alarm app you need — designed to keep you on track, whether you're cooking, working out, or managing your daily schedule. QUICK TIMERS & PRESETS Get a countdown running in seconds. Tap + and pick a Quick Timer: one tap on 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 25 minutes — or dial any duration — and it starts immediately, then clears itself from the list once you're done with it. Or start from one of ten ready-made presets: Pomodoro, Pomodoro 50 / 10, HIIT, Tabata, Meditation, Power Nap, Green Tea, Boiled Egg, Box Breathing and Stretching. Each one explains what it's for, and you can edit it like any other timer. COUNTDOWN TIMERS Create multiple named timers with custom durations. Personalize each timer with its own color and alarm sound. Start, pause, resume, and stop timers independently. INTERVAL TIMERS Set up two alternating phases — perfect for HIIT workouts, Pomodoro sessions, or any activity with work and rest periods. Customize the name, duration, and alarm sound for each phase. Add an optional warm-up before the first round and a cool-down after the last — or rename the cool-down to "Long Break" for full Pomodoro sessions. REPEATING TIMERS Let timers repeat — a fixed number of rounds or endlessly until you stop them. Track your progress round by round. ALARMS Schedule alarms for specific times with flexible weekday recurrence. One-time alarms disable automatically after firing. Snooze with configurable durations. WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITIES Control your timers directly from the Home Screen and Lock Screen. Small and medium widgets show your timers and alarms at a glance — start, pause, or stop without opening the app. The Quick Timer widget starts a countdown with a single tap and shows the ones already running. The Tomato Timer widget (small, medium, large) brings a classic kitchen-timer tomato to your Home Screen. Live Activities keep your countdown visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. 25 ALARM SOUNDS Choose from 25 distinct sounds — from gentle chimes to clear bells, plus four short ticks that suit fast interval work — and preview each one before you decide. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE • Custom colors for visual distinction • Multiple sort options (name, duration) • Group active timers at the top of your list • Light, dark, or automatic appearance • VoiceOver support and Dynamic Type up to accessibility sizes PRIVACY FIRST All your data stays on your device. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts. Your timers are yours alone. Timers & Alarms is free to use. Love the app? Leave a tip to support independent development.
