Laundry Tap: Washer Timer
A wash and dry timer with a Lock Screen countdown and reminders, plus a one-tap log of when you last did the laundry.
Overview
Laundry Tap reminds you when the wash is done and keeps track of when you last did the laundry. Start a wash or dry timer, put your phone away, and get a notification when the cycle ends. The countdown also stays on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
When the clothes are hung up, tap once to log today's laundry. Home then shows how many days it has been since your last wash and when it is about time again, and a monthly calendar lets you look back at your laundry days.
It is a small, focused tool rather than a full chore manager. It does not connect to your washing machine, so the timer uses the length you set, and it does not handle laundromat payments or weather forecasts.
