TIMERS THAT ARE ACTUALLY BEAUTIFUL About Timers is the most visually stunning way to run multiple timers and stopwatches on iPhone and iPad. Born in the kitchen — where managing multiple things at once is the difference between a great meal and a burnt one — but at home everywhere you need precise timing. MULTIPLE TIMERS, ALL AT ONCE Run as many timers as you need, simultaneously. Every timer is a visual tile with vibrant gradients, a glowing progress ring, and ambient light that pulses as it counts down. Pasta, sauce, vegetables — all on screen at the same time, each with its own alarm sound and repeat alerts. STOPWATCHES WITH SPLIT TRACKING Track laps, rounds, and splits with millisecond precision. Set a target time for each split — the app shows you instantly whether you were faster or slower, in green or red. Ideal for workouts, coaching, board games, or any activity where every second counts. DEEPLY INTEGRATED INTO iOS • Home screen widgets in small, medium, and large • Lock screen widgets — circular progress and rectangular countdown • Time-sensitive notifications that break through Focus and Do Not Disturb BEAUTIFUL BY DESIGN Dozens of color themes and gradient palettes: rainbow, gold, nova, and more. Choose your shape — circle, squircle, or rectangle. Ambient glow effects in gradient or solid styles. 15 custom app icons to match your home screen. This is what a timer app looks like when design actually matters. ABOUT TIMERS PRO Upgrade to unlock unlimited timers and stopwatches, lock screen widgets, Focus Mode (hide stopped timers for a cleaner view), alternative app icons, and every new theme added in future updates. Available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time purchase. Privacy: https://www.abouttimers.com/privacy.html EULA: https://www.abouttimers.com/eula.html
