Timer history

When did my timer actually go off?

You heard it ring, dismissed it, and now you're not sure if that was ten minutes ago or twenty. Shared Timer keeps the answer: every finished timer shows the exact time it went off.

Why the Clock app can't tell you

A timer in Apple's Clock app exists only until you dismiss it. Swipe the alert away and the timer is gone, with no record of when it rang. If you stepped out, silenced it in a hurry or someone else tapped Stop, there's no way to check.

What Shared Timer shows instead

A finished timer stays on your list for three days. Its card reads "Completed at 2:15 PM", and the detail screen shows the full date and time. Open the app whenever you like and the answer is right there.

Stopped a count-up or a shared countdown early? Everyone sharing it sees who stopped it and when, plus the total time for count-ups. Useful for naps, contractions, practice sessions and anything else where the end time matters.

Three ways it helps

  1. Kitchen"The rolls came out at 5:52," not "a while ago." Time the rest of dinner from a real number.

  2. Naps and babiesThe nap timer says exactly when it ended, and the count-up says how long it ran, on every phone in the family.

  3. Work and studySee when a focus block or a meeting countdown finished, even if you were in another app when it rang.

Common questions

How can I see when my iPhone timer went off?

In Shared Timer, a finished timer stays on your list for three days marked "Completed at" with the exact time it rang. No more guessing whether it went off at 6:15 or 6:20.

Does the iPhone Clock app show when a timer went off?

No. Once you dismiss a Clock timer, it's gone and there's no record of when it rang. Shared Timer keeps the completed time on the timer's card and detail screen.

Can I see who stopped a shared timer?

Yes. When someone stops a shared count-up or countdown, everyone sees who stopped it and when, along with the total time for count-ups.

Never guess when it rang again
