Life has a lot of timers. Now they all have a home. TickStack lets you create, organize, and run multiple timers at once โ€” for cooking, working out, laundry, deep focus, plants, and everything in between. One app for every countdown in your day. - Run everything at once Start your pasta timer, your laundry timer, and your focus block simultaneously. TickStack keeps them all running in the background and notifies you the moment each one finishes. - Built-in library of ready-to-use timers Don't want to set it up from scratch? Browse pre-made timers for boiling eggs, brewing coffee, power naps, stretch breaks, watering plants, rest sets, and dozens more. Add any to your home screen in one tap. - Organized by category Cooking. Fitness. Work. Home. Plants. Hobbies. Life. Every timer lives where it makes sense, so your egg timer and your HIIT rest timer don't end up in the same pile. - Always visible with home screen widgets Glance at your active timers without opening the app. TickStack widgets keep your countdowns front and center right on your home screen. - Pick your sound Choose from five distinct notification tones โ€” Two Bells, Bell & Drop, Doorbell, Kalimba, or Kitchen Bell โ€” so you know exactly which timer finished just by the sound.
