One of the reasons I love my smartphone is that it makes my life easier.
And whenever I can add another helpful app, I just get happier.
Tymer is one of those apps, and (at this moment in time) it is FREE in the iTunes store.
This app is beautiful in its simplicity. It is a multiple – timer app, allowing you to set numerous timers at once. Obviously wonderful for cooking, but also good for all sorts of multi-tasking.
It is very easy to use, with a minimalist design. When you first open it, you will see …. nothing. Nothing but a black screen with the word “tymer” on the top left and a plus sign on the top right.
Tap the plus sign to add a timer. Swipe the timeline to set the time.
Tap the plus sign again to add another.
and again…. you get the idea.
To delete a timer, you just swipe to the left.
This app has earned a permanent place on my iPhone.
Tymer is FREE in the iTunes store. (this may change, so if you are interested…. hurry!)

I sure could have used this a few days ago! Thanks.
I can foresee lots of uses for this. Sorry this discovery missed your need by a few days. I’m happy to know it’s now a handy tool in my pocket. 🙂
When I get to working and focusing, I lose all sense of time and don’t even hear computer alerts. So I set phone alarms that require my action to turn them off. Otherwise, I’d work through them, too. When I have lots of meetings, I need this!
It’s true…. I think it’s easy to “tune out” all those beeps and tones that signal messages, or tweets, or whatever. Using a “requires my action” type alarm for the important things makes a LOT of sense!
Great! Thanks for letting me know about this!!!
You’re very welcome! I’m sure this will come in handy.
This is useful for when you have to take a medication at a specific time everyday.
Thank you for posting. : )
Yes….. good idea for a use! If I didn’t have reminders set on my iPhone, I’d forget all kinds of things, medications included!
Hello there. I do enjoy having your regular updates delivered by morning coffee time. Thnx for running this site. I have a question – do you know if the TYMER is available for the iPad2. Thnx.
Welcome!! I like joining you for coffee. I drink mine light, please. With a bit of sweetener. 🙂
Yes, this should work on an iPad 2 IF IF IF it is using iOS 7 or later. Good luck!
That could come in useful.
I think so, too!
GAH! I LOVE this idea! When I visit schools to do author talk assembly programs, I always set my timer for 10 minutes before the talk needs to end. Then I try to keep track of those last 10 minutes on my own. Now I will be able to preset both alarms and not torture myself for the last 10 minutes.
wonderful!! I do hope this works for you and relieves that bit of stress for the last 10 minutes. 🙂
Awesome!!!! Downloading now…………once again, you came through for me!!! LOL! Hugs…
🙂
Have used the timer app a couple of times. It will be handy for timing multiple tasks. The “completion alert” is far too gentle (will check into possible adjustments….LOL!)
