Support

Bubl Timer is an interval timer for moments when you don't want to think. Each timer is a bubble: tap it to start, hold it for its history, and let it tell you when the wait is over.

Common questions

How do I add a bubble?

On first launch, tap the big “add first bubl” bubble, or open Edit (the icon at the top right) and tap the + tile in the dock. Pick a symbol, set the duration with the slider or the − / + buttons, choose a colour and a fill, then tap Add. Tap a bubble to start it; tap again to stop it early. Press and hold to open its history.

The alert didn't arrive

Open Settings → Notifications → Bubl Timer and make sure notifications are allowed. Alerts are scheduled on the device when a timer starts, so the app does not need to be open. Focus modes and Do Not Disturb can hold alerts back.

I tapped “Don't Allow” by mistake

Turn notifications on in Settings → Notifications → Bubl Timer. The app keeps counting either way; the bubble shows the time left whenever you open it.

How do I change a bubble's time, colour or fill?

Open Edit and tap the ✦ badge on the bubble. Six fills are available: Liquid, Glitter, Smoke, Mist, Snow and Crystals. Save to keep the changes.

How do I move, park or delete bubbles?

In Edit, hold a bubble and drag it to a new spot. Tap ✕ to park a bubble in the dock at the bottom, and + on a docked bubble to bring it back. The red ✕ on a docked bubble deletes it for good. The icon at the top left switches between the Single, Pair and Trio views.

Where is the history?

Hold a bubble to see its starts as a list, a night timeline, lanes, a month view or a cloud of bubbles. Switch to All timers to see everything together. Clear a bubble's history, or all of it, from the bottom of the sheet.

Is my data private?

Yes. Bubl Timer has no account and no servers. Timers, history and preferences stay on your phone, and deleting the app deletes them. Details are in the privacy policy linked below.
