Most timers are a number on a white screen. This one is a small 3D object sitting on your counter. You grab the top of it, turn it with your thumb, and it starts ticking.
THE OBJECT IS THE TIMER
Turn the object to wind it up — the dial moves, the time follows. Tap once and it scales up to fill the whole screen, where you can spin it around in 3D for no reason other than it looks good.
RUN YOUR WHOLE DAY AT ONCE
Pasta, laundry, the thing in the oven. Start as many timers as you like, give them real names, and sort them into your own groups — Home, Studying, Cooking, whatever your day actually looks like. Swipe at the edge of the screen to flip between them.
THE PERFECT EGG, ACTUALLY CALCULATED
Egg mode isn't a list of presets. Tell it the size, how firm you want the yolk, and whether the egg came out of the fridge or off the counter — it works out the exact time from real cooking data. Soft, medium, hard, and every shade in between.
INTERVALS THAT KEEP UP WITH YOU
Work, rest, exercises, rounds, and a longer break between them. Set it once, save the configuration, go. A chicken clears hurdles on screen while you train — pause, and it stops to catch its breath. It has opinions about that.
A STOPWATCH WORTH PULLING OUT
Hundredths of a second, big clean numbers, and a mechanical stopwatch that would look at home on a coach's lanyard.
A COLLECTION, NOT A SETTINGS SCREEN
An egg, a chicken, a vintage kitchen timer, a globe, a coffee grinder, a ramen bowl, an arcade machine, a lucky cat that's somehow also a chicken. Pick your object, then pick its look — from flat comic shading to real metal and glass — and the rest of the interface follows along.
IT KEEPS TICKING WHEN YOU LEAVE
Live Activities put the countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Wearing an Apple Watch? It shows up there too, automatically.
BUILT FOR THE THUMB
Every control has weight. Everything springs back the way it should. The tick, the winding, the alarm and every button are real recordings, not system beeps — and you can turn all of it off.
Also in here: a dark mode in anthracite and amber, saved presets, custom alarm sounds, repeats, a recipe of the day, and one small thing hidden behind an egg icon that we're not going to explain.
Free with the objects you start with. New ones can be unlocked one at a time — no subscription, ever.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Version 1.2 uses AlarmKit (iOS 26.1+) so that timers, alarms and the end of an interval workout that the user has set also ring in Silent mode. The app asks for permission on first use; if declined, it falls back to regular notifications. Alarms are only scheduled for timers the user starts and alarms the user creates.
