It’s almost time for a new Google Clock widget (Update: Rolling out)

  • Google appears to be working on a new Clock widget.
  • The widget would give you one-tap shortcuts to starting new timers.

Update, August 29, 2024 (12:10 AM ET): Google Clock’s Timer Starter widget is now rolling out, as Mishaal Rahman spotted. The widget shows 1-minute, 5-minute, and 10-minute timers by default, but any other timers you create will also show up.


Original article, August 19, 2024 (02:22 PM ET): Of all the Google apps we rely upon day after day, does any go more underappreciated than Clock? Clock does everything from waking us up in the morning to keeping track of how much longer our dinner’s going to take in the oven. It’s even learned how to predict the weather. Today, we’re giving Clock a little overdue attention as we spot a new widget Google’s got in the works.
