Google Clock’s new timer UI is here

Google Clock’s Timers tab just got a big makeover. Google Clock’s new timer UI is here, and your muscle memory won’t like it. The numbers are flatter and come without the circular background; there are presets for 1, 5, 10, and 15 minutes; and the start button has moved.

Google has rolled out a few updates as part of the September Android Drop, like Guided Vision for Gemini Live and a crossover between Google Messages and Keep. Not to be missed, the company is also giving the Google Clock app some attention. Specifically, the Timers tab is going to look a little different from how you remember.

In the UI you’re familiar with, the Timers tab features a large card with rounded numbers. The numbers are also rounded for the numeric keypad overlay, but these numbers are contained in a circular background.
