Build it yourself
Add steps, set durations, label them, give them icons and colours. Full control when you know exactly what you want.
Features
Every routine you repeat, built once and run hands-free.
A stack is a sequence of timers that flows by itself: warm up, work, rest, repeat, cool down. You press start once. Every step announces itself and hands over to the next, on your Lock Screen and your wrist, while your phone stays where it is.
Made forTrainingStudyCookingRoutines
The current step, the time left, and what is coming next. Nothing else to think about.
The Timer Engine
Real routines are not one countdown.
They have rounds, rests that differ from the work, a warm up that only happens once, and something in the oven that ignores all of it. Timer Stack keeps that structure readable while you build it and while it runs.
- Sequential steps: each timer carries its own label, icon, colour and duration, and flows into the next automatically.
- Rounds and nesting: repeat a block four times, or nest a set inside a circuit, without the structure becoming unreadable.
- Detached timers: run one in parallel with the main routine, for the bake, the soak or the rest that does not follow the sequence.
- It keeps going: lock the phone, switch apps, take a call. The routine persists in the background and carries on.
Build it once. Every step is editable, reorderable and reusable.
Getting Started
Three ways in, so a blank screen never stops you.
Most timer apps hand you an empty form. The fastest routine is often one that already exists.
Describe it and let AI build it
Write what you are doing in plain language, such as a thirty minute strength circuit with short recoveries, and get a complete stack back. Then change anything you like: it arrives as a normal routine, not a locked result.
Steal one that works
Import a routine from the gallery, a link or a QR code, and it becomes your copy to keep and reshape.
Sharing
The best routine is often somebody else's.
A routine that took you an hour to get right should not have to be rebuilt by hand by everyone who wants it. Every stack travels whole.
- Send it any way: a link, a QR code, a file, or directly to people in the room with no signal required.
- It arrives complete: structure, labels, timings, music cues and presentation, ready to run rather than ready to rebuild.
- Browse the gallery: routines organised by category, for training, focus, cooking and winding down.
- Publish under your own name: creators can release signed, branded routines their audience can verify. See what creators get.
Apple Ecosystem
Built for the devices you already run your day on.
Not a web app in a wrapper. The integrations people actually reach for, done natively.
Runs oniPhoneiPadApple WatchWidgets
- Apple Watch, standalone: the Watch app runs a routine on its own, so the phone can stay in a locker or a pocket.
- Lock Screen and Dynamic Island: the current step and its countdown stay visible without unlocking anything.
- Apple Health: training routines record the workout type, active energy and heart rate.
- Apple Music: attach a track, playlist or genre to a step so the music changes when the routine does.
- Siri and Shortcuts: start, check and create routines without touching the screen.
- iCloud sync: the same stacks and their history on iPhone, iPad and Watch.
Progress
Proof you showed up.
Every completed routine is recorded, so consistency becomes something you can see rather than something you try to remember.
- Streaks and completions: an activity map across the last ninety days, and the totals behind it.
- Session detail: time spent, rounds finished, and how a routine changed over repeats.
- Goals and graphs: deeper statistics for people who want to track the trend rather than the day.
The Details That Matter
Quietly important things, done properly.
Works without a connection
Building and running routines needs no internet. The gym basement, the aeroplane and the kitchen with bad signal all work the same.
Accessible by default
VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and high contrast are supported throughout. A routine you cannot read is a routine you cannot run.
Android, in early beta
The Android build is real and in testers' hands, though still behind iPhone and Apple Watch. It is heading for the same feature set, and routines already move between the two. Join the beta and you go into that group.
Verifiable sharing
Published routines are signed and checked on import, so a session from a creator can be shown to be theirs. How that works.
Pricing
Free to build and run. Pay only for more.
The core of Timer Stack is not a trial. Building routines, running them hands-free, and importing what other people share are all free, permanently.
Standard
Build, run and save routines. Import from links, codes and the gallery. Apple Watch, widgets, Lock Screen and Health.
Premium
Detailed statistics, streaks and goals. Linked stacks that launch one routine from another. Custom themes and categories, export, and public share pages.
Pro
Publish under your own verified identity, with branding, embedded media, and distribution through links, codes and the public gallery.
Everyone in the beta keeps Premium for life.
Timer Stack is in beta and free while it runs: iPhone and Apple Watch are furthest along, and the Android build is in early beta behind them, heading for the same feature set. Join now and Premium stays yours afterwards. Founding creators get a year of Pro on top.
