Ties broken by recency, so the timer you want is always under your thumb — no setup, no fiddling, no rearranging by hand. FEATURES • Six sensible defaults (5, 10, 15, 25, 30, 45 min) — edit, delete or add your own from either device • Tap a preset on iPhone or Apple Watch to start an instant countdown • Progress ring with monospaced time, plus Pause and Resume • Haptic feedback on the watch when a timer finishes • System chime and local notification on iPhone, so a backgrounded timer still pings you • Restart in one tap when the timer hits zero • Long-press on iPhone to edit or delete; swipe to delete; add custom durations down to one second ON THE WATCH The watch app is the heart of TockTock. Your top picks bubble up automatically so the timers you reach for daily are always above the fold. Add a custom duration right from your wrist — no need to pull out your phone.
