One of the simplest reasons to put Apple HomeView in the kitchen is its ability to manage several timers at once. Rather than reaching for a phone with messy hands, you can use Siri to start and stop countdowns by voice.
Set a timer hands-free
Activate Siri on HomeView and request a timer, such as “Set a timer for 15 minutes.” You can make another request for a second timer while the first is running. Apple confirms that HomeView supports multiple timers for cooking and other household tasks in its official product overview.
Use the Timers app to keep an eye on active countdowns, and ask Siri to stop a timer when it is no longer needed. Apple also shows running timers as Live Activities, so their progress can remain visible while you use another supported app on HomeView.
Keep a recipe and timers together
For an especially useful combination, open a recipe in Safari and tap Start Cooking when the option appears. You can follow its steps on HomeView while Siri manages the time-sensitive parts of a meal.
