Time at your pace. Create a countdown that runs at normal speed, faster, or slowerβ€”and see how your chosen duration translates into real time. MAKE EVERY TIMER YOURS Choose a duration, add a name, and pick a color and alert sound. Use normal speed for an everyday countdown, or adjust the pace for a playful twist. For example, a 6-minute timer at 0.5x lasts 12 real minutes. START AGAIN IN A TAP Restart timers from Recents and access your timers from Home Screen widgets. Your last duration selection is remembered, so setting up the next timer takes less effort. KEEP TIME IN SIGHT Follow your timer with Live Activities on the Lock Screen and supported Dynamic Island devices. Normal-speed timers show a live countdown; adjusted-speed timers use a progress display. Speed up. Slow down. Stay in control.
