HELP
Q: Why the timer doesn't work in the background?
A: You should allow notifications.
Q: How to turn off the sound and turn on the vibration?
A: On the device, turn the Silent Mode on.
Q: Alert is limited for 5 seconds!
A: Go to Settings app, then Periodic Timer > Notifications > Banner Style > Persistent.
Q: How to switch the Timer Output Mode?
A: To switch the Output Mode touch the timer display at the top of the screen.
Q: What is Kitchen Mode?
A: Kitchen Mode allows to start/cancel the timer by shaking the device. Thus, you don't touch the screen, what can be useful while cooking, for example. The app should be open.

Ratings and Reviews
Add one feature to be perfect
I have dyschronometria and find this super helpful for daily living. My only suggestion is that you add an option to start the timer at a specific time. I have mine beep every 15 minutes, I just wish I could have it start at exactly 8am for example.
Developer Response ,
Hi! Thanks for the feedback! I'm plainning to add this feature OR make a separate app with schedule.
Love that this runs in the background
This app is helping me to discover something pretty incredible - but which is only interesting to a very specific type of nerd. I use the app to track the expansion and contraction of the universe, a phenomena which can both be observed by looking at slime mold under microscope, and can also be experienced as a sensation in the body (useful for meditation). That it runs in the background even when the app is closed was a surprise bonus feature, but it has helped me to realize how consistent and exact are the 100 second cycles, and also that there are occasionally stillpoints of exactly 50 seconds. Sorry if this makes no sense, I can’t help it if I’m a nerd. But thank you for making this app available, well worth $2 or more.
The Interval Timer We Need, But Not the One We Deserve
This timer is dead simple: nothing missing, and nothing in your way. For workout intervals, this was just what I needed.
You set any interval—anything from 1 second to 59 minutes + 59 seconds—and this timer counts up to that internal over and over, until you stop it, just giving you 1 concise *beep* each time the interval has elapsed, and showing a count of how many intervals have passed.
That's it.
No B.S., no ads, no confetti when it ends, no automatic female recording saying "5 seconds remaining" to interrupt your music. So clean and simple, it could blend in as a stock iOS utility.
You could use this timer for time-boxing tasks at work, or managing a rotating group activity, or meditation/focused breathing.
Only possible improvement I can see is having the "interval elapsed" sound louder or longer. But I guess custom sounds is available if you pay the one-time $2. And honestly I think I will.
