HOLD
Start a hold for the parking meter, the shared dryer, the roast in the oven or the curbside pickup, then add time from the Lock Screen with one tap: no unlocking, no app, and the alert moves with it.
Every pad is free. For any other wait, tap the big readout and type a length from 1 minute to 8 hours.
A running hold carries real controls: two extend buttons in the pad's own amounts (Parking gives +15 MIN and +30 MIN) and END. Extending moves the countdown and reschedules the alert, without unlocking your phone.
Name a date up to 10 years ahead, add reminders, and put the Event Countdown widget on your Home Screen or Lock Screen (iOS 17 or later).
Free: every pad, the keypad, the Lock Screen controls, the alarm, one hold at a time and one date countdown with its widget. Your first 5 holds are ad-free; after that each new hold plays a short ad from Google once it has started, never before it.
HOLD Pro is a one-time purchase, never a subscription. It removes every ad, runs up to 3 holds at once, saves up to 50 of your own pads, lets you edit the 8 presets, raises date countdowns to 10, and adds ending a hold at a clock time and pad colours.
No account and no sign-in. Your holds, pads, history and date countdowns stay on your iPhone and are never sent anywhere. Ads on free holds come from Google, are never personalized, and HOLD never asks to track you; for Pro users the ad software never starts. See the privacy policy.
