A timer is only useful if you see it. Bury it inside an app and you stop checking, so you guess.
A running Timix timer can live where you already look: the Home Screen, the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island, Control Center, the Mac menu bar and the watch face. None of that is new. What’s new is a guide that goes through every one of them on a single page.
It gives you two things:
- The right one for the job. They’re grouped by what you want from them: watching a countdown, starting a routine or pausing everything.
- What a tap does before you tap. On the countdown widget, Pause, Resume and Cancel work without opening Timix. Tap a pinned template and it starts, and Timix opens on the countdown. The guide says which is which.
If your hands are often busy, start with Timix Control. One tap pauses every running timer, and the next resumes them. It works on a locked phone and never opens the app.
Your wrist gets its own set: the running countdown, your pinned timers, and a quick way to start one, all on the watch face.
Mine is a small icon in the Mac menu bar. I use it to start my sitting timer, and to pause it when I leave the desk.
Which one would you put on your Home Screen? Tell me.
