Introducing timers on subtasks in Tiimo

Timers on subtasks make time visible for the smaller steps inside a task. Here’s what the feature does and how it gives you a clearer view as you go.

Tiimo now lets you add timers to your subtasks. Each smaller step can have its own timer, so you can see how much time is left for what you’re doing while keeping the rest of the task in view.

It brings two useful pieces together: the steps that make up a task and a visual way to follow the time spent on each one.

What are subtask timers?

A subtask is a smaller step inside a larger task. “Prepare a presentation,” for example, might include outlining your ideas, making slides, and reviewing what you’ve written.

Subtask timers let you add a timer to those individual steps. The time left appears beside the current subtask, with a visual progress indicator that makes it easier to check at a glance.

How timers on subtasks work

Break a task into the steps you want to follow, then add timers to your subtasks. As you work through the task, Tiimo gives you a view of:

  • The current step, with a countdown showing the time left.
  • Completed steps, so you can see what’s already done.
  • Upcoming steps, so you can see what comes next.

The smaller steps and their timing stay together. You can check the time for the part you’re working on without losing your overview of the whole task.

Tiimo is built on lived experience and inclusive design, so you can plan, focus, and follow through in ways that actually work for you.

A clearer view when time is hard to track

Knowing what to do and knowing how much time is left are different things. If you get absorbed in one part of a task, it can be hard to judge when to move on.

A visible countdown gives you a reference you can return to. It can help you notice the time left for the current step and decide what to do next, especially when a task has several parts.

The timer is there to support your sense of time. Your estimate is a starting point, and noticing that a step takes longer can help you plan it differently next time.

Where can you use subtask timers?

Use them for any task with smaller steps you want to time: working through a study session, preparing a presentation, or tackling household chores. Longer morning and evening routines are another useful example.

Start with a task you already have and the steps where seeing the time left would be helpful.
