Creation of your own commands allows you to run simultaneous actions with multiple timers: start, pause, stop, and other actions on one board or on different boards without a need to open these boards and searching timers.


There are 2 way to you create commands:

1. Using the Side Navigation Menu

  • Go to the side navigation Menu.

  • Tap the "Edit" button located next to the "Commands" title.

  • Tap "+ Add" item at the bottom of the Command list.

  • Add a command name in the pop-up window.

  • Tap the "Run" button on the Toolbar to run the command immediately.

  • To close the Toolbar, quit the edit mode, and save changes, tap the cogwheel button again.

  • To add different timers to your command, swipe left or right on the screen to scroll between boards; Tap timers to select actions for them. Timers with selected actions will be added to the created command.

  • To test your command, tap the "Run" button on the Toolbar.

  • To edit or to remove a command you need to go to the side navigation menu, tap the "Edit" button in the "Commands" section. Swipe leftwards on a command name to reveal a set of two buttons on the right: "Edit" and "Delete".

  • To change the title of a command, tap the block with the command title, located next to the "Run" button on the Toolbar.

  • The app has got a built-in command "Terminate all timers" that stops all running timers at the same time.

  • The current version of the "Commands" function allows you to run timers simultaneously but not successively.
