Flip Timer — full-screen timing app for iPhone
Flip Timer is a simple, full-screen timer designed for iPhone users who want a clear, tactile way to track time. It offers two primary modes for measuring intervals, a distinctive flip-style animation to mark the passage of time, and sound options to keep you on schedule.
Built-in timekeeping options
-
Stopwatch mode
Use this to record activities like workouts, study sessions, or work intervals. The screen can remain active so you always see elapsed time, and you can enable ambient background audio to help maintain focus. -
Countdown mode
Set a target duration by swiping up or dragging downward on the display. A timed reminder tone alerts you when the period ends, and the flip animation gives a satisfying visual cue as numbers change.
Controls and visual design
The app uses large, full-screen digits and a flip-card animation that mimics physical flip clocks. Time adjustments are performed with simple swipe gestures, making it quick to set or change a countdown without opening menus.
Audio and power settings
Flip Timer lets you:
- Keep the display awake while a timer or stopwatch runs.
- Choose reminder sounds for finished countdowns.
- Turn on subtle background sound to reduce distractions and help you concentrate.
