Best multiple timers apps in 2026
To run several countdowns at once on Android, grouped in parallel or one after another, with a home screen widget and a full screen alarm, Multi Timer. For multi-step and interval timers on iPhone that you can adjust while they run, Timer+. For pages of labelled, coloured timers, Timr. For unlimited timers next to a stopwatch with laps, MultiTimer: Stopwatch + Timer. Full breakdown below.
How we picked: people look for this when one kitchen or phone timer is not enough, eggs, pasta and bread at once, or sets and rests in a workout. We read each developer’s own store description for how many timers run together, how they are grouped, what you see without opening the app and how the alarm reaches you.
Run several timers at the same time
Multi Timer runs as many countdowns as you need at once, for cooking, workouts, studying or anything where several things happen together: eggs boil while pasta is on and bread is in the oven. Timers can be combined into parallel groups that all start together or sequential groups that run one after another, looping timers restart on their own at zero, and you can drag them into your own order or sort by the one that ends soonest. It works offline, with no ads and no tracking, and nothing leaves the device.
Timers you see without opening the app
Multi Timer adds a home screen widget with your active timers and a loud full screen alarm that appears when a timer finishes, even over the lock screen. Timer+ shows eligible timers and stopwatches on the iPhone Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, lets you add or remove time while a timer runs, repeats a timer up to 64 times and builds multi-step and interval timers for workouts, cooking and daily routines. For a timer that wakes you in the morning, see alarm clock apps.
Organised timer boards and a simple stopwatch
Timr keeps unlimited timers on multiple pages you swipe between like the iPhone home screen, with labels, colours, icons, alert styles and sounds; tap to start, tap to pause, hold to reorder. MultiTimer: Stopwatch + Timer keeps it simple: add unlimited timers, hear a sound and see a flashing display when one ends, and switch to a stopwatch with a lap display in one tap. For study sessions, see focus apps, and for sets and rests, workout apps.
