ReadyTimer is the simplest way to make sure you leave on time. Just enter the time you need to leave — or how many minutes you have — and ReadyTimer will announce the time remaining at your chosen interval. No more losing track while you're getting dressed, packing your bag, or doing your hair. HOW IT WORKS • Set your departure time or choose how many minutes you have • A voice announces the time left every 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minutes • When you're out the door, tap "I'm Out" (optional) to mark it as on time WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE "Hey, you've got 15 minutes to get ready. Let's go!" "10 minutes left — how are you doing?" "3 minutes left. Wrap it up!" "1 minute! Out the door!" KEEPS ANNOUNCING EVEN WHEN YOU SWITCH APPS ReadyTimer runs in the background — so you can scroll, check messages, or play music and it will still announce your time out loud. It even plays over your music or podcasts without interrupting them. VOICE PERSONALITIES Choose from multiple AI voice personalities — from cheerful and encouraging to no-nonsense — so your reminders actually feel good to listen to. PRESETS Save your recurring routines as presets. One tap and you're ready to go. TRACK YOUR STREAK Every session is recorded in your history. See how many times you made it out on time and track your streak on the scoreboard. Nothing motivates like seeing your own data. ReadyTimer is for anyone who knows exactly when they need to leave but somehow always ends up rushing anyway.
