Shared Timer vs Kairotique

The iPhone Clock app can't share a timer, and the apps that can go quiet the moment the ringer is off. Shared Timer fixes both: set it once, send the link, and every phone rings at the same second, even on silent. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set a timer, by duration or by picking an exact time ("dinner's out at 6:15"). 2. Share the link through Messages, WhatsApp or any app you already use. Recipients just tap and they're in. No sign-ups. 3. Ring together. Every device rings at the same absolute moment, even offline, with the app closed or with the phone on silent. 4. Change it while it runs. Edit the time, name or color, or add a minute with one tap, and every phone follows. RINGS EVEN ON SILENT On iOS 26, every countdown in Shared Timer is a system alarm, the same kind the Clock app uses. The Silent switch doesn't mute it. Do Not Disturb and other Focus modes don't hold it back. Your iPhone sounds and shows a full-screen Stop button, whether the app is open, closed or the phone is locked, and it keeps ringing until you stop it. No more missed timers because the ringer was off. On iOS 17 and 18, timers alert with a notification instead, which follows your Silent switch and Focus settings. EVERY TIMER IS ITS OWN ALARM Run the pizza, the laundry and the nap at once. Each timer is scheduled as its own alarm, so stopping one never silences another. Change a timer or add a minute and its alarm moves with it, on every phone sharing it. When a timer rings or you stop it, its Live Activity clears itself from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Nothing to swipe away, nothing left ringing at the wrong time. OR TIME ANYTHING, LIVE Count-up timers work like a shared stopwatch: for naps, workouts, study sessions, anything. Everyone you share with watches it tick and sees how long it ran.

A stopwatch, interval timer and shared timestamp log. Kairotique helps you measure time and record each button press. Track workout laps, cooking steps, experiments or a baby’s feeding times. Create custom preset buttons, then invite others through a link to contribute to the same record. Mark edit points while creating on your own While streaming, filming or recording a podcast, tap custom buttons such as “Edit point”, “Mistake” or “Retake” to log the elapsed time on your stopwatch. Add notes and export CSV or TXT records to help find those moments when you edit later. Research and experiments Log reagent additions, heating and observations. Teammates can add their own records and review who noted each event and when. Cooking Time cooking and resting stages, connect steps in a sequence, and log ingredient additions or heat changes for your next attempt. Workouts Record laps and sets. Repeat preparation, exercise and rest intervals. Baby care for parents and caregivers Record feeding, diaper-change and wake-up times. Share timestamps and notes with the people caring for your baby. Work, meetings and study Mark task starts, reviews and breaks with custom buttons. Review elapsed times and export your records. Four ways to measure and record • Timestamp: record when a feeding, diaper change or task starts with one tap. • Stopwatch: measure elapsed time, mark laps and see who recorded them. • Timer: set a duration or start a countdown from a saved preset. • Sequence: connect and repeat steps such as Prep 10s, Work 40s and Rest 20s.

Distinct colors are assigned automatically. Tap a button to record the moment, and add a memo later if you need one. Follow progress and record together Create a room and send an invite link. Participants can follow the same progress and add records from their own devices. The host can grant control to selected participants to run the session together.

Exported records use the host's time zone as a common reference, even when participants are in different time zones.

If you fully close the app before sending, syncing continues the next time you open it. • Sounds, vibration and background notifications alert you when a timer or step ends. • Choose an alarm sound and keep the screen awake while you work. • Available in 16 languages.
