Description

Time’s Up! is a fun, visual countdown timer for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Whether it's for you, your kids, or someone else, Time’s Up! makes counting down more engaging — no more boring white numbers on a black background.

Time’s Up! was originally built for the developer's toddler. Timers are a great way to signal that it's almost time to stop doing something fun without becoming the "bad guy" — kids have more respect for what the phone says than what a parent says. The iPhone's built-in timer is very basic, so Time’s Up! makes it more fun and full-featured.

Time’s Up! has 7 styles to choose from:

• Reveal — uncover a photo from your Photo Library as the seconds tick down.
• Pixelate — a photo becomes clearer as the timer gets closer to zero.
• Puzzle — a photo is broken into jigsaw pieces that fall into place as time progresses.
• Gradient — a color-changing style that’s great for drawing your eye.
• Clockface — a cute character who blinks, winks, and grins as your timer counts down.
• Two classic clock face styles for a more traditional look.

All styles can be customized with their own alert sound and color.

Time’s Up! is great for:

• Adults who need to be reminded to take a break from working.
• Kids who don't want to do their homework but can be convinced to work in smaller chunks.
• Setting reading or other activity timers before bedtime.
• Helping kids with ADHD and similar conditions focus on an activity for a set amount of time.
• Exercise groups — put a full-screen timer on your TV via AirPlay.
• Anything that's based on a specific amount of time!

Other key features:

• Guided Access — prevent kids from switching apps or changing timers. Only you have the power to stop the clock.
• AirPlay and Apple TV — put a timer on the big screen for group activities.
• iCloud sync — timers sync between iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.
• Shortcuts support — schedule and automate timers with the Shortcuts app.
• Focus mode integration — use timers as part of a focused work session.
• Apple Shortcuts — automate timers with Siri and Shortcuts workflows.
• VPP / Education — available via Apple School Manager for classroom use.

Time’s Up! is a free download with a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks unlimited timers. There are no subscriptions, no ads, and no data collection of any kind.
