Help & Support

Board and Timers

Add Item

Tap an available empty slot, then choose Timer or Note. Touch and hold an existing item to edit it.

Set a Timer

In timer settings, choose a name, color, sound, and either Duration or Scheduled Time. Tap the checkmark to save.

Tap Quieter or Louder to choose a ringtone from that category. Save with the checkmark to remember your choice for new timers in the app. TTS and custom audio stay with each timer.

Scheduled Time

Duration counts down after you start it. Scheduled Time runs to the next occurrence of the selected clock time; if it has passed today, it uses tomorrow.

Control Timers

Tap an idle or paused timer to start or resume it. Tap a running timer to pause it, a ringing timer to dismiss it, or a Done timer to reset it.

Note

Choose Note for an available empty slot. Tap or touch and hold the note to edit its text or color.

Saved Timers and Notes

In item settings, tap the bookmark to save the current setup. Tap the list button to load a saved item into that slot. For a timer, tap the checkmark after loading.

Alarm Sounds and Speech

Custom Sound

In Timer Settings, open Custom Sound to record or import an audio or video file. Choose up to 29 seconds. Microphone permission is needed only for recording.

Text-to-Speech Alarm

In Timer Settings, choose Text-to-Speech Alarm. Enter up to 300 characters, choose one of five Speed and Volume levels, then tap Use to prepare the spoken alarm.

Quiet Mode

Quiet Mode uses the quieter alarm sound on iPhone, including timers already running. A bar at the bottom of the board shows when it is on. Apple Watch follows its own Silent Mode.

Alarms and Permissions

Timer Permissions

Starting a Duration or Scheduled Time timer requires Alarms and Notifications. If either permission is off, the app offers iPhone Settings instead of starting.

Alarm Dismissal Gesture

iPhone Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Preferred Single-Tap Action controls whether a ringing alarm uses Stop or Slide to Stop. The app cannot override it. Behavior > When Timer Ends still controls the timer's state after dismissal.

When Timer Ends

Reset returns a dismissed timer to its configured idle state. Done leaves it marked Done until you reset or restart it.

Extra Time

Choose Auto or a fixed 1, 3, or 5 minutes. This amount is used by Extra Time controls and Siri Extend; Auto derives it from the timer's original duration.

Lock Screen Snapshot

Snapshot Styles

The Snapshot appears on the iPhone Lock Screen. Standard shows the most relevant timer, controls, and full board. Three Rows shows up to three prioritized timers. Simple is compact with controls; Minimal omits controls. None hides the snapshot.

Live Activities

The Snapshot and its controls require Live Activities for this app in iPhone Settings. Turning Live Activities off does not stop timers or alarms.

Privacy

Turn on Private under Display > Snapshot to hide timer names and note text without changing the selected layout.

Always On Display

On supported iPhones, Always-On Display dims the same snapshot and adjusts its colors for readability. Timer timing and snapshot actions do not change.

Compare Snapshot layouts

Watch screenshots and short app recordings show the English interface.

Apple Watch

The board uses the same seven-slot 2 / 2 / 2 / 1 layout. Tap a timer for its current action; tap a note to read it.

Home Screen Widgets

Widget Types

Timer Grid shows the board. Timer Status shows the most relevant timer. Home Screen widgets show status only; use the app or Snapshot controls to change timers.

Add a Widget

Touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit, tap Add Widget, then search for this app. Choose Timer Grid or Timer Status.

Siri

Siri Language

Siri uses the language selected in iPhone Siri settings. The app's Language menu does not change Siri; use the same language for the examples below.

English command examples

• “Run Live Timer”
• “Run all Live Timer”
• “Pause Live Timer”
• “Pause all Live Timer”
• “Resume Live Timer”
• “Resume all Live Timer”
• “Stop Live Timer”
• “Silence Live Timer”
• “Reset Live Timer”
• “Extend Live Timer”
• “Extend all Live Timer”
• “Restart Live Timer”

Choose a Timer

When more than one eligible timer exists, Siri asks which one. Choose a listed timer name or slot label, or All timers when that option appears. If Run finds no idle timer, Siri can ask for a duration and use the first available empty slot.

How Stop Works

The Stop command dismisses every ringing or attention timer immediately. If none needs attention, Siri stops one running or paused timer, or asks which one.

What Reset Does

Reset returns every non-idle Duration or Scheduled Time timer to its configured idle state. It keeps timer settings and does not change notes or empty slots.

When Extend Works

Extend works only after a timer reaches zero and needs attention. The All timers form extends every eligible timer.

What Restart Does

Restart starts one configured timer again from its original duration or next scheduled time. It never offers All timers.

Settings and History

Display

Default keeps the board simple. Expanded adds progress rings plus visible duration, load, reset, and sound controls.

App Icon

In the Settings menu, open Display > App Icon. Choose a design to use it, or select Default to restore the default icon.

Appearance and Palette

Display > Appearance follows System or forces Light or Dark. Palette changes board colors; additional palettes require the Palette unlock.

Keep Screen Awake

While the app is open, Behavior > Keep Screen Awake prevents automatic screen sleep only when at least one timer is running. It does not change timing or alerts.

Confirm Before Delete

Behavior > Confirm Before Delete asks before deleting a timer or note. When it is off, deletion happens immediately.

Language

Language changes text in the app, widgets, and the Snapshot. Siri continues using the language selected in iPhone Siri settings.

Usage History

Usage History records timer starts, pauses, resets, extensions, completions, and note changes. Tap Share to export a TSV file.

Version 1.3.4 includes a refreshed Default icon and additional icon designs. Choose Default in the picker to restore the current default icon.

Pro Mode

Pro Mode offers unlocks for all seven timer slots and additional palettes, plus Restore Purchases.

Four slots are available without the all-slots unlock. Pro Mode offers an in-app purchase to unlock all seven slots. Additional palettes have a separate unlock. Use Restore Purchases for purchases made with your Apple Account.
