Scientific Timer

About this app

What's new

Version 1.2 · Sep 23, 2026

• Accessibility throughout. Scientific Timer now works fully with VoiceOver and Voice Control: every button has a clear name, and timers announce the time remaining or how long they are overdue, in all four languages. • Larger Text. Every screen adapts to the largest text sizes, including the create and edit sheets and the welcome screens. • Easier to read. Stronger contrast for target times, secondary text and buttons, in light and dark mode. • Overdue timers now show a "+" before the time, so they stand out without relying on colour, and favourites use a filled heart. • Reduce Motion is respected: screens no longer slide in when it is turned on. • Bigger tap area for the start and pause buttons. • A cleaner look: the create and edit sheets have a solid background, and step names fit on one line so every card in a protocol is the same height. • Timer counts read correctly in the singular, such as "1 timer". • No more sign-in. Scientific Timer no longer needs an account and no longer collects any data. Everything you create stays on your device, as it always has, so nothing is lost when you update. • Profile is now Settings. Add your name there to sign the protocols and timer-tasks you create. • More accurate notifications: a timer-task you pause and resume now notifies you when it actually finishes, and notifications from one timer-task no longer clear the others. • Better battery life: paused and reset timers now fully stop in the background. • Imported libraries appear right away, with a confirmation, and a file that can't be read leaves your library untouched. • The built-in protocols load more reliably. If one can't be loaded, the app tells you instead of closing. • On devices set to a language the app doesn't support yet, protocols and the welcome screens appear in English instead of being empty. • Smoother scrolling in the library, and Send feedback opens a blank email ready to write.
