# A toilet timer on your Lock Screen

Sitting a long time is something doctors ask about with constipation. Start the toilet timer as you sit down, and the minutes go into your log when you're done.

## Start it from anywhere

- The **Toilet timer widget** on your Home Screen
- **Control Center,** the **Lock Screen** or the **Action button** (iOS 18 or later)
- **Siri:** "Start a toilet timer in Stool Log"
- The **Timer** button when you log a stool

## While it runs

The time counts up on your **Lock Screen** and in the **Dynamic Island,** without opening the app. Tap it when you're done and Stool Log opens a new stool log with the minutes filled in and the time set to when you finished. If nothing came, choose "Nothing came" and it's noted for your Toilet time goal.

After an hour the timer stops by itself and saves nothing.

## Without the timer

You can always note minutes on the toilet by hand when you log a stool: Under 5, 5 to 10, Over 10, or exact minutes. That part is free.

## In your report

The doctor report counts stools with more than 10 minutes on the toilet, and with enough exact times, your average minutes.

In Discreet mode the timer is just called "Timer" everywhere it shows.

## Try it three times free

Three timers are free to try. Unlimited timers are part of Stool Log Plus.
