Your timers will go off even if Visual Timers is in the background or has been completely terminated! It will vibrate once and sound the original Marimba iPhone tune once a timer has expired. Silent Mode and Do Not Disturb (both are respected) Silent Mode - Visual Timers will respect your desire to have your iOS device silenced and no audible alarm will be heard when this is on.
