In this article, I will introduce you to 5 free Windows 10 multi timer apps. With these multi timer Windows apps, you can set multiple timers for different tasks. Once a timer goes off, you will be alerted by a desktop notification plus a sound. Best of all, these multiple timers remain active even if you close these apps or restart your PC. Some of the Windows 10 apps on my list even display the count of active timers on the Windows Taskbar. Apart from that, you can also add multiple timers into multiple groups. This will allow you to categorize timers for similar tasks together or create multiple interval timers of a task.
Note: These Windows 10 multi timer apps don’t notify you when a timer goes off if your PC is asleep, due to Windows API restrictions.
There are similar types of multi timer apps for Android and iPhone from which you can create multiple timers on the go and keep track of your tasks.
