Church Timer

A Church Remote project · Upcoming

Your service time.
On your wrist.

A clear countdown for the pastor, worship leader, speaker or volunteer on stage. We’re bringing selected church-service timers to Apple Watch through Church Remote on your paired iPhone.

Timer integrations are in internal testing. Church Timer is an overview of this Church Remote work, not a separate released Watch app or a public beta.

Illustration, not a hardware screenshot or live reading.

A reminder you can understand.

The simplified warning setup starts new Watch favorites with a vibration at 1 minute remaining. Pick a different warning time or turn it off. Existing customized or disabled settings stay yours.

Connect on iPhone. View on Watch.

  1. Set up an authorized timer source in Church Remote.
  2. Choose a timer and turn on Show on Watch.
  3. Open Timers on the paired Watch and confirm the source and status.
  4. Adjust the warning time in Name & Warnings if one minute is not right for your role.

Each provider has its own capabilities. Freshness labels and last-update information distinguish source readings from estimates. A dedicated timer Smart Stack / Live Activity is separate future work, not a permanently visible timer promise.

Keep the congregation in view.
