ABTimers 2.0

by MJ October 2026

Timers are still not exciting.

But iPhones have changed a lot since 2017, and ABTimers hadn't. So we rebuilt it from the ground up.

It looks at home on today's iPhone and iPad, with Dark Mode and support for larger text.

There's a calculator for timers like 25 × 5 minutes. (Yes, a game made us need that.)

Timers can live in groups, each with its own alert sound. Edit Timer puts the buttons you use most right under your thumb. And if you miss an alert, ABTimers keeps reminding you until you deal with it.

A few things from version 1, like spoken timer names, didn't make it into 2.0. If you miss one, let us know.

Give it a try. (It's still free.)

Still not exciting. Still very useful.

Timers are not exciting.

The things you time: they can be exciting.

The games you play with the help of timers: they can be exciting.

Timers? Not so exciting.

Even so, we poured months of thinking and planning and programming and designing into making what we feel is a very fine multi-timer app full of features and power.

It still isn't really that exciting.

But it is very useful.

Give it a try. (It's free)

And if you think of any feature or function you would like to see added, please let us know. We promise to make a solid effort to add it.

We want to add every possible feature that anyone could want in a timer app.

It still might not be all that exciting.

But it will be cool.
