Self Timer for iPhone and iPad

Smarter countdowns, natural smiles, and perfect timing.

Place your iPhone or iPad, or hold it in your hand, choose the countdown, and let Self Timer handle the rest. After a few seconds, the app starts taking a sequence of photos automatically — one after another — so you can later pick the best one. It’s ideal for selfies, groups, and every moment when you want to be both in front of and behind the camera. The Multi-Photo feature captures up to twenty photos in sequence, helping you find the perfect expression. No more rushed poses or closed eyes — just natural, spontaneous shots ready to share. During the countdown, Party Mode adds cheerful sounds that make everyone smile, turning each session into a light-hearted, fun experience. And with Voice Control and Siri Shortcuts, you can simply say “Hey Siri, take a photo with Self Timer app” to start shooting hands-free.
