Free to use · iPhone · End-to-end encrypted sync
Made for iPhone — for simplicity and focus · Apple Watch app coming soonEverything you need. Nothing you don’t.
A timer should take a second to start, not a tour to learn. Nilo keeps the one thing that matters — time — front and centre.
Two taps to start
Spin the dial, press go. The fastest way from “I need ten minutes” to a running timer.
Save your regulars
Tea, workout, focus block, pasta. Keep the timers you use most and start them with one tap.
Alerts & reminders
Get notified the moment a timer ends, or set a nudge to start one. Background alerts and reminders are Pro features.
Synced everywhere
Make a timer on your phone, find it on your other devices. One account, always in step.
End-to-end encrypted
Your timers are encrypted on your device before they ever leave it. We literally can’t read them.
Calm by design
A quiet, dark interface that gets out of your way. No ads, no streaks, no noise.
Free to start. Pro for alerts & sync.
The core timer is free, forever — no ads, ever. Nilo Pro adds background alerts when timers finish, reminders to start them, and end-to-end encrypted sync across all your devices.
