An app that allows a very large (effectively unlimited) number of timers to run simultaneously. Time multiple cooking pots, time the glue drying time, time the developing of a photographic print, time a time-out, time a turn in Pictionary, time a test, time the breaks between tests when you're a proctor, time a time-out, time a turn in a debate. Time anything! The app uses a dial when the device is in landscape and a digital display in portrait. A timer is very simple to set -- in landscape you touch the dial and drag the dial to the time you want. No longer do you need to scroll through a picker where you can only see several lines. If the devices is in portrait then you touch the digital display and select the time by scrolling through the digits. Creating a new timer is a simple matter of touching a button and then selecting the time scale. You can also rename the new timer and change the order of the timers in the list. A simple, intuitive icon in the list show if the timer is running and what percentage of the time is left. Great for busy cooks, hobbyists, and anybody who needs to time stuff.

About

timer & stopwatch

Features
Read full description

Set multiple timers and stopwatches at the same time. Give each a name and let it run independently. Build routines for focus, workouts, and breaks. Combine named stages with their own durations, repeat rounds, and choose automatic transitions or start each stage yourself. Try the Pomodoro example or a 40-minute workout followed by a 10-minute break, then make it your own. One routine runs at a time on each device, alongside your ordinary timers. Start a Quick Timer with a preset or minutes slider. Personalize all four presets and choose whether completed Quick Timers are removed automatically. Start timers with Siri and Shortcuts, or use configurable controls on supported systems. On iOS and iPadOS 26 or later, grant alarm permission to use AlarmKit alerts with system countdown and Lock Screen controls. Notification alerts remain available on earlier supported systems or when alarm permission is not granted. Automatic routines use notifications for intermediate stage cues. Keep timers, settings, history, and saved routines on your device and sync them with your other devices through iCloud. A routine's running session stays on the device where you started it.
