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.
