About

Quieter Timer

Features
Read full description

This is a simple timer app that will either vibrate-only or play the gentle sound of a Tibetan-bowl when the timer ends. The built-in iPhone Clock app has a timer that's great–but every sound option it offers for when the timer ends is loud and jarring. Quieter Timer is an alternative that can be useful for meditation, or any time you want to set a timer without alerting the whole room around you when the timer goes off.

Feel the time. Not the noise. Haptic Pulse Timer is a countdown timer that replaces loud alarms with silent vibration alerts.

Just a pulse. 4 vibration patterns - Steady β€” a consistent, rhythmic pulse - Heartbeat β€” a natural double-tap beat - Rapid β€” fast bursts that demand attention - Gentle β€” soft waves for a calm alert Tap any pattern to preview how it feels before starting your timer.

Set your time with + and βˆ’ controls, hold to adjust faster, hit Start, and go. Haptic Pulse Timer stays out of your way until it's time to alert you.
