About TimeBarX
TimeBarX puts a countdown where you’ll actually see it - a full-screen progress ring, Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, and Home Screen widgets. Glance at your time remaining without opening the app or breaking focus. Set a timer with the slider, pick an end time, or type in plain English. “25 minutes”, “1h30m”, “2:00 PM” - just type and go. SEE YOUR TIME • Large circular progress ring that fills as time runs down • Drag the ring to set the duration, with a tick for each minute • Live Activities on the Lock Screen, StandBy, and Dynamic Island - pause, resume, or add 5 minutes without opening the app • Home Screen widgets with quick-start controls • Near-end pulse when five minutes remain START IN SECONDS • Duration slider (free) • End-time picker and natural language input (Pro) • Presets for common focus durations - customize or add your own (Pro) • Siri and Shortcuts: start, pause, resume, repeat, or start a named preset • Picks up where you left off after quitting or restarting POMODORO WHEN YOU NEED IT • Work, short break, and long break cycles • Configurable durations, cycle count, and auto-advance (Pro) • Live phase badge while a session runs A FINISH YOU’LL NOTICE • Completion screen with optional custom message (Pro) • Effects: flash, pulse, fade, or none (Pro) • Notifications with 5- and 10-minute snooze MAKE IT YOURS (PRO) • Custom colors and customizable presets • Segmented ring with 2–6 arcs • Smart auto-pause when face-down or idle • URL scheme automation (timebar://) • Session history and optional mood check-in • Light or dark app icon, or follow the system BUILT RIGHT • Native SwiftUI for iPhone and iPad • Optional iCloud sync of timer state and settings with your other TimeBarX devices • No subscription.

What’s new
Version 1.0.7 · Updated September 30, 2026
What’s New Fixes and refinements across iPhone and Apple Watch: • When a timer is running on multiple devices, only the device that started it will notify you - no more duplicate “time’s up” alerts. • Starting a preset now tints only that timer run, while your chosen color stays synced across all your devices. • The completion chime now plays over your music instead of stopping it. • Widgets and Apple Watch complications now count down live, and the halfway alert lands at the true midpoint, even after pausing. • On Apple Watch, manual Pomodoro now offers the next phase when a session ends. • Widgets, Live Activities, and notifications are now translated into all supported languages. Thanks for using TimeBarX!
