How do I set a timer?

Tap an empty timer to open the keypad. Enter the time and press the play button. You can also give your timer a name and choose its alarm sound.

How do I use a timer I’ve used before?

Open the timer’s keypad and you’ll find your recent timers listed there. Choose the one you want, and its name and time will be filled in for you. Each timer keeps its own list.

Can I run several timers at once?

Yes. Each timer runs independently, with its own countdown and alarm sound. You can have six timers running, or eight if you’ve switched on the extra two.

How do I pause, resume or cancel a timer?

Tap the timer’s ring to pause it. Tap again to resume. To cancel it, hold the ring for about a second. The line beneath each timer reminds you what to do.

How do I change the time on a running timer?

Tap the small corner tab at the bottom right of the timer. This opens the keypad. Starting a new timer from here replaces the current time.

How do I get eight timers?

Open Settings using the gear at the top right of the screen and switch on Show 8 timers.

My alarm didn’t sound when my iPad was locked.

Open Settings in the app and choose Alarm when locked. If it says Off, tap Open iPad Settings and allow alarms and notifications for The Baker’s Timer. Also check that your iPad’s volume is turned up.

Siri opened Apple’s Clock app instead.

This can happen occasionally. Try saying the full phrase from the Siri instructions below, including the words “The Baker’s Timer app.”

Does it work on an iPhone?

Not yet. The Baker’s Timer is made for the iPad.

Hands-free with Siri

When your hands are covered in flour or you’re busy in the kitchen, you can ask Siri to manage your timers. Say the phrases below as written, including the app name, so Siri knows to use The Baker’s Timer. Siri control requires iPadOS 16 or later.

“Let’s bake with The Baker’s Timer app”Opens the app on the keypad.
“Start a timer in The Baker’s Timer app”Siri asks how long you want the timer to run, then starts it.
“Set a named timer in The Baker’s Timer app”Siri asks how long the timer should run and what you’d like to call it.
“Start a saved timer in The Baker’s Timer app”Siri asks which saved timer you’d like to use, then starts or resumes it.
“How long is left in The Baker’s Timer app”Siri tells you how much time is left.
“Stop the timer in The Baker’s Timer app”Siri asks which timer to stop if you have more than one running.
“Pause all timers in The Baker’s Timer app”Pauses every running timer and keeps the remaining time.
“Resume all timers in The Baker’s Timer app”Starts all your paused timers again.
“Stop all timers in The Baker’s Timer app”Resets all timers to their full time. Your saved timer names and times are not erased.

A note about Siri: by default, iPadOS uses Apple’s Clock app when you ask for a timer. Including the words “The Baker’s Timer app” helps Siri open and use The Baker’s Timer instead.
