Can I see the countdown without opening the app?
The current App Store description lists Live Activity and Dynamic Island support for watching a countdown from the Lock Screen without opening the app. The store listing does not publish a model-by-model Dynamic Island compatibility list, so check the current listing and your device capabilities before relying on that presentation.
Does the listing say that a timer speaks the time?
No specific spoken-timer behavior is described in the current listing. The spoken-time claim is attached to alarms, while timers are described as quick countdowns. This article does not imply that a timer announces the clock time or remaining duration aloud.
What platform and privacy details apply?
The current US App Store listing requires iOS 26.0 or later and presents the app for iPhone and iPad. It does not verify the app for macOS.
The current App Privacy declaration says Data Not Collected. The product description also states that the app requires no account or sign-up and has no ads or tracking. These are current store statements and may change in a future version.
