GLP-1 Pill Timer

A DEAD SIMPLE TIMER FOR YOUR MORNING ROUTINE

If like me, you take a GLP-1 pill first thing in the morning, you know the drill — 30 minutes before you can eat or drink anything. At 6am I'm thirsty and barely awake, so I wanted a timer that was dead simple and easy to start. I didn't find one I liked, so I built this one.

WHAT MAKES THIS TIMER DIFFERENT

• One-tap start. Add the lock screen widget and you're a single tap away from starting your timer.

• Plays your alert sound once. No persistent beeping. No grabbing your phone to silence it.

• Auto-resets when complete. Ready for tomorrow morning, no setup needed.

• Live Activity support. See the countdown on your lock screen and Dynamic Island while using other apps.

• Time remaining displays in the Smart Stack on your Apple Watch. To check, swipe up from the bottom of your watch face.

• No surprise cancellations. Cancelling an active timer requires a deliberate slide gesture.

• Notifications are marked time-sensitive so they cut through Do Not Disturb and Focus filters. You won't miss an alert.

• Shows when the last timer finished. Stepped away from your phone? The app shows "Finished X minutes ago" so you always know where you stand.

CUSTOMIZABLE TO YOUR LIKING

• Pick from seven alert sounds, or choose silent.

• Change the displayed name to anything you want — useful if you'd rather not advertise that you're on a GLP-1 medication.

• Set the timer increments to your preference. Want to scroll all 60 individual minutes? Go for it, but by default the app shows 5-minute increments because nobody actually wants to scroll past 27, 28, 29 to find 30.

SPOILER ALERT

This isn't just a pill timer — it can time anything you like. But I built it specifically for my GLP-1 routine and that's the audience I had in mind.

PRIVACY

No data is collected. Nothing is sent anywhere. The app doesn't even need an internet connection. Your settings are stored locally on your device. No ads. No tracking. No accounts. No upsells. No pestering you for a review.

FREE DURING LAUNCH

This timer is free while I see whether it's useful to anyone besides me. Future versions may include a small one-time fee. Either way, updates are free.

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER

This is a one-person operation. If you have a good idea, there's a real chance I'll implement it — though I'll try not to stray far from the "dead simple" idea that started it.
