An application with a clean and minimalistic interface, allowing you to quickly start the countdown. Slide your finger across the dial setting the interval and press the start button.

Visual Timer allows you to create arbitrary presets by customizing the countdown duration and color of the timer - this is useful, for example, for cooking various dishes. You can also control the program from the notification curtain.

In the application settings, you can choose the direction of movement of the arrow, assign sounds to the timer, or turn on night mode.

2. Goodtime

Goodtime

A timer for fans of time management in the style of Pomodoro. The Goodtime principle is this: you start a countdown (by default, the period is 25 minutes) and work without stopping. When the preset period expires, you can reward yourself with a five minute rest.

Getting rid of all the distractions is Goodtime's main goal. The application interface is extremely minimalistic. In addition, there is an option in the settings that turns off sounds, vibration and Wi-Fi on your smartphone during the timer.

Controlled by Goodtime gestures: swipe left and right to switch between options. Move up to add one minute to the countdown and down to stop the timer.

Timer Plus

This application is aimed at sports lovers. Timer Plus allows you to effectively alternate between workout and rest. The app has a tabata timer, a crossfit round timer and a runner stopwatch. In addition, nothing prevents you from creating your own time counters if you follow a non-standard training program.

Timer Plus has a very bright, contrasting interface, with which it is easier to follow the passage of minutes without looking at the gadget's screen for a long time. In addition, in the application settings, you can find several options that allow you to interact with the timer without picking up your smartphone.

For example, Timer Plus can flash with a flash or device screen, warning you about the end of the next round, as well as notify you with a voice.

4. Interval Timer

If the Timer Plus interface seems a little cluttered and clumsy to you, try Interval Timer. It looks simpler and more restrained. You don't have to figure out a bunch of functions and presets: they are simply not there.

You just need to adjust the number of sets (Sets), time for repetitions (Work Interval) and time for rest (Rest Interval), and then start the countdown. And the program will notify you about the end of the next time period with a loud squeak.

5. Brain Focus

Brain Focus

This application is aimed at increasing your productivity and has a lot of settings. Brain Focus helps you to effectively alternate periods of work and rest, and also keeps detailed statistics - how much time you spent on work, how much rest and how much absenteeism.

In addition to the functions of the timer itself, Brain Focus has the ability to create tasks, just like in case managers like Wunderlist. Moreover, during a given time interval, you can switch between tasks on the fly, and then watch how many minutes you spent on one or another of them.

Finally, Brain Focus has a Do Not Disturb mode in the settings. If you put down the necessary switches, then the application will automatically turn off Wi-Fi and sounds during the timer. It will also start blocking programs on your smartphone so that you are not tempted to surf on social media.

6. Engross

Engross is a cross between a regular timer and a to-do list. Create tasks, assign them due dates and reminders, and then start the countdown and dive into work. While you are doing what you planned, Engross collects statistics and evaluates how productive you are.

In addition, the application can turn off Wi-Fi while you are working, and allows you to record motivating quotes on the timer screen. Tasks in the planner can be sorted using labels to track in statistics what you spend more time on.

Engross is free, but if you want to pause timers and view statistics for more than four days, you'll need to purchase a premium.

7. Google Clock

Google clock

A very convenient application from Google without unnecessary bells and whistles. It can show the time in all cities of the world, serves as an alarm clock, and also acts as a timer and stopwatch.

Adding a timer to Google Clock is easy: go to the appropriately named tab, type in how many hours, minutes, and seconds you need, and then start the process.

At the same time, you can create as many counters as you like and flip through them by swiping your finger across the screen from top to bottom. You can assign any names to the timers so as not to confuse them. And on the next tab Google Clock is a simple stopwatch.
