DeskDial

Keep time in sight while your iPhone stays on your desk.

DeskDial is an always-on countdown timer for presentations, meetings, study, and focused work on iPhone.

While timing, DeskDial disables Auto-Lock so the remaining time stays visible on your desk. If you lock the phone manually, supported devices show the timer on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island through Live Activity.

Key features • Quick presets: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 120 minutes • Tap the central flip-clock display to set hours, minutes, and seconds • Cyan outer ring for total remaining time and white inner ring for the current 60 seconds • Industrial POWER rocker switch to start; press again while timing to reset • Red overtime display continues counting up after zero • Persistent JA / EN switch for the app, Live Activity, and notifications • Choose start haptics, digit font, end sound, and end alert style • Settings and timer state are safely stored on your device

Stopping, resetting, or making the app inactive restores normal Auto-Lock behavior. The on-screen completion and overtime display continue even if notification permission is not granted.

Live Activity availability depends on iPhone system settings and hardware. On iPhones without an Always-On display, the display itself may turn off after locking.

DeskDial is completely free: no ads, in-app purchases, account, analytics, data collection, or external communication.
