Overview
Multus Timers is an iOS application developed to solve a key limitation of the iOS platform. At the time of development, Apple only allowed a single active timer in the default Clock app, making it difficult to manage multiple time-based activities simultaneously.
The application enables users to run and manage multiple timers concurrently through an intuitive and user-friendly interface. This makes it easier to plan daily activities such as cooking, studying, exercising, or working without constantly resetting timers.
A key feature of the app is its preset system. Users can configure timers in advance with custom names and icons, allowing frequently used timers to be started instantly. Additionally, the app supports widgets, enabling users to start timers directly from the home screen without opening the application.
The app was fully developed using Swift and SwiftUI, with a strong focus on simplicity, performance, and usability.
Challenge
At the time Multus Timers was developed, iOS only supported one active timer at a time in the default Clock app. This created a limitation for users who needed to manage multiple time-based tasks simultaneously.
Users had to manually track timers, calculate remaining durations, or rely on inefficient workarounds, resulting in a frustrating experience.
The challenge was to design a solution that allows multiple timers to run concurrently while maintaining a simple and intuitive user experience.
Solution
Multus Timers was developed as a native iOS application that allows users to run multiple timers simultaneously.
Users can start, pause, and manage timers independently within a clear and structured interface. A preset system was implemented to allow users to save frequently used timers and start them instantly.
To further improve speed and accessibility, widget support was added, enabling users to launch timers directly from the home screen without opening the app.
The application was designed with a strong focus on usability, performance, and consistency with the iOS ecosystem.
Results
Multus Timers was successfully published on the App Store and provides a practical solution for managing multiple timers simultaneously.
The preset and widget system allows users to start timers faster and manage repetitive tasks more efficiently.
The project contributed to deeper expertise in native iOS development using Swift and SwiftUI, while demonstrating the ability to design and build intuitive mobile applications that solve real user needs.
