How to save and reuse timer designs with templates

Last updated October 30, 2026

A template is a saved timer design: size, style, colors, background, padding, labels, language and fonts. Start each new timer from a template and you only need to set the date.

Create a template

1. Open Tools and choose Templates.
2. Click Create New.
3. Design it in Visual Design and Text and Labels, just like a timer. Templates don't have dates, links or Apple Mail settings, because those belong to each timer.
4. Click Save.

Create a timer from a template

• On the Templates page, click Use on the template, or
• Click Create New on the Timers page and choose the template under Choose Template.

Then set the date and anything else specific to that campaign.

Good to know

• Templates copy the design once. Editing a template later doesn't change timers already made from it.
• Want an exact copy of a timer instead? Click Duplicate in the timer list. You get a copy with every setting, including the date.
• Enterprise subaccounts see a Corporate tab with templates from the main account and a Created by you tab. Some subaccount users must start every timer from a template, which keeps everyone on brand.
