Perfect for cooking, workouts, breaks, work sessions, or any task where you need to watch the clock—and now with Apple Watch support, your timers go everywhere you do. Core Timer Features Run Multiple Timers Simultaneously Never choose between tasks again. Run up to 5 timers concurrently, each with its own countdown, custom label, and independent notification. Pause one while others keep ticking.
