Smart Routines

Chain your timers into one routine

A routine is a pre-built sequence of timer stages that runs automatically, one after another — so instead of starting a Focus timer, watching it finish, then manually starting a Break timer, and repeating that all afternoon, you press Start Routine once and TimerHub carries you through every stage, with a chime at each transition.

Why chain timers into a routine

A single timer is great for a single task, but most of what we do is a sequence: three rounds of focus and break, a sear followed by a long simmer, an opening followed by the main content of a talk. Starting each of those stages by hand works, but it also means you're the one who has to notice when a stage ends, remember what comes next, and tap start again — which is exactly the kind of low-value attention-switching a timer is supposed to remove from your day.

Routines fix that by encoding the whole sequence once. Press Start Routine and TimerHub becomes the thing keeping track of what's next, playing a distinct transition chime as each stage hands off to the following one, and a longer completion chime when the whole routine finishes. You stay in the work — the studying, the training, the cooking, the rehearsing — instead of in the timer app.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

A single timer runs one duration once. A routine is a pre-built sequence of several timer stages — for example six alternating focus and break blocks — that run back-to-back automatically, with TimerHub handling every transition for you.

Yes. The player has a pause/resume control and a skip button that jumps straight to the next stage, so you can cut a warm-up short or extend a break without restarting the whole routine.

TimerHub plays a short transition chime and moves straight into the next stage — no tapping required. When the final stage of the routine ends, you'll hear a longer completion chime and see an on-screen "Routine complete" notice.

Yes. Every stage runs on the same drift-corrected timing engine used across TimerHub, so the countdown stays correct even if the browser throttles a background tab.

The routines here are curated, ready-to-run sequences for the most common needs. If none of them fit exactly, the Interval Timer and Pomodoro tools under Tools let you configure your own custom stage lengths and round counts.
