If you have already yet, please take a look at our [timer docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/timer). It will have information on how the timer works. Let us know if you have any questions about any specific function of the timer. I would recommend creating a new blank project and testing out the timer without messing up your main app.

If you want to get the current time, you would need to use the [Current Time and Date block](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/blocks/device#current-time-and-date). I am unsure how you would like to implement this, but from what I understand, you would could do it with just the timer blocks.
