Keep your four go-to timers just a turn away. Study and breaks, cooking and workouts: with Timer4, you don’t have to set the same times over and over. ◆ Turn to switch timers Each side of your iPhone holds a timer: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour. Turn to the one you need and tap Start. In Rotate view, the cards move with gravity. If you’d rather not turn your phone, switch Timer View to List and pick from all four timers on one screen. ◆ Timer sets for every routine Save up to 10 sets for studying, cooking, workouts, and more. Each set holds four timers. Swipe left or right to jump to the set you need. ◆ All four at a glance on big screens On wider screens, such as iPad, all four timers appear on one screen. No turning needed. Just tap Start on the timer you want. ◆ Start right from your Home Screen Tap a timer in the widget to open the app and start the countdown. Each widget can show its own timer set. ◆ Check and control it from the Lock Screen See the time left on the Lock Screen, and pause, resume, or stop without opening the app. On iPhone models with the Dynamic Island, you can check and control the timer there too. ◆ Make every timer your own Name each timer, set its length, and change the screen and border colors. Show the numbers in the font you like. Only one timer runs at a time. Whether you’re settling in to focus or taking a quick break, keep the times you need ready in Timer4.
