Timix turns timers into routines. Run multiple timers at once, chain them into complete sequences, and automatically trigger actions as your timers progress. Whether you're studying, cooking, working out, focusing, or building your own routine, create it once and let Timix keep it moving. From a simple countdown to a fully automated routine, Timix gives you control over what happens before, during, and after every timer. BUILD YOUR ROUTINE Run multiple timers side by side or chain them together into reusable sequences. Create everything from study and focus sessions to workouts, cooking routines, morning routines, and more. AUTOMATE EVERY STEP Choose from 15 triggers, combine as many as you like, at the start or end of any timer (see below). Timix can also run Apple Shortcuts when a timer starts or ends, allowing your timers to become part of larger automations. LOG WORKOUTS TO HEALTH Turn any timer into a workout. Timix can start a workout when a timer begins and end it when the timer finishes, then save it to the Health app with its activity type and duration. Choose from more than 80 activity types, including running, yoga, strength training, and mind and body sessions. Recording happens right on your iPhone or iPad. No Apple Watch required. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See completed and cancelled timers on a visual timeline. Search, filter, and compare routines, then track total time, runs, and triggers over time.
