About

EarTimer

Features
Read full description

Timer alerts, just for your ears. EarTimer is a timer app for iPhone that plays timer sounds through connected Bluetooth earphones. It is designed for situations where you do not want sound to play through your iPhone’s built-in speaker. Made for moments like these • Early starts while your family sleeps • Quick naps beside a sleeping baby • Mornings in hotels and shared rooms • Naps on trains and planes • Quiet breaks in libraries and shared spaces Key Features • Set timers in hours, minutes, and seconds • Two timer sounds • Test external-audio playback before starting; when no external output is connected, the test uses vibration instead • Pause, resume, or cancel a running timer • On supported devices, control the timer from Live Activities on the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island Free with optional ad removal EarTimer is free to download and includes a non-personalized banner ad on the Timer screen. A one-time “Remove Ads” in-app purchase removes the banner. Existing customers who purchased EarTimer before it became free continue to use the app without ads. Earphone-first playback EarTimer plays the selected timer sound only while an external audio output is connected. If your earphones disconnect, the app will not switch the timer sound to the iPhone’s built-in speaker. Important Information For reliable playback through your earphones, do not force-quit EarTimer. Audio may be interrupted by phone calls, Siri, other audio apps, Bluetooth reconnection, device restarts, or iOS system conditions. Requires an iPhone running iOS 26.0 or later.
