How to play

Free Play. Tap anywhere to start the timer, tap again to stop. Turn on "Keep time across stops" in Settings if you want the clock to continue from where you left off instead of resetting.

Goal Challenge. Set a target time, then everyone takes a turn trying to stop the timer exactly on it. The digits hide while the timer runs, so it is a test of your internal clock. Whoever lands closest wins.

Tournament. A knockout bracket. Seeding is shuffled, byes are handled automatically, and each match goes to whoever stops closer to the target.

Teams. Turn on team play in Settings, create teams, and assign players. A team's score is the average distance from the target across its members.

Common questions

I bought the lifetime unlock but the app still shows locks.

Open Settings and tap "Restore Purchases", or tap "Restore Purchase" on the unlock screen. Make sure you are signed in to the same Apple ID you bought with.

Do I have to buy it again on my other devices?

No. The unlock is tied to your Apple ID. Install the app on your other device, tap Restore Purchases, and it unlocks.

I cannot hear the sounds.

Tap Timer respects the physical silent switch on your iPhone. Flip the switch off silent and check the volume.

Can I show the timer while it is running?

Yes. Tap the eye button at the top of the game screen to show or hide the running digits at any time, even mid run.

How do I set an exact target time?

In Settings, tap "Target time". Type any value on the keypad, or use the plus and minus buttons to nudge it by hundredths of a second.

How do I remove or rename a player?

Tap that player's name in the bar at the bottom of the screen. You can rename them, change their color, or remove them.

Is my data collected?

No. Tap Timer collects nothing and sends nothing anywhere. See the privacy policy.
