Apple Watch iPhone Only

Alerts

When enabled the watch will play the alert sounds assigned to the timer.

Volume

The volume of the alert playback.

Haptic

When enabled the watch will produce haptic feedback when even an alert should be played. This applies even if you have disabled the alerts above.

note

Due to some strange decisions Apple have made about how the watch works you can only reliably get haptic feedback if you use the watch in silent mode.

When not in silent mode haptic feedback only works while the app is actively on screen. As soon as you lower your wrist it is replaced with an audible alert.

Low Power Mode

By default the app will continue to refresh the user interface while in the background, this allows the screen to be up-to-date when you raise your wrist to glance at the time.

By enabling this setting, the user interface will no longer be refreshed in the background. This will result in a slight delay when glancing at the time.

Skip Restart Option

When enabled the option to restart the timer once it is completed will be skipped and you will be take straight to the summary.
