hello @katha, great question!! there are various solutions to implement what you’re describing, below I’ve described one of the ways this can be achieved: 1. ask the User for an Input of # of seconds: ![Screen Shot 11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/a/a7716fe35dcd68008f69479d1c38452619dcf4c1.jpeg) 2. calculate the end time based on when the Timer is started: ![Screen Shot 12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/8/8042042f980e59c4a9908d82cfbde12fcdff2028.jpeg) 3. on a timer, check if the timer has come to its end. if so, you can add any Actions you’d like (simply displaying a message in this example): ![Screen Shot 13](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/8/877b43d8596fc0b8b584d50a2a2e0cfd382e7aea.jpeg) 4. this would be the result of the App on the Player: ![Screen Shot 14](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/0/087ecb3f45699ae6ff900a180d861eb67d6f42d2.jpeg) would this help you achieve what you’d like?? let us know!! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.tulip.co/t/different-timers/1555)._
