I use my iphone's built in timer almost daily. It's a great way to force myself to take breaks -- to remember that 3pm conference call -- or to split projects up into timed segments to plow through unpleasant tasks.
This free app adds just a bit of convenience above the apple standard clock. I can see the timer on my home screen like a widget so I don't have to leave the app open to see how far along I am.

Timer Minutes to Go Puts a Countdown Timer on Your iPhone Home Screen
There isn't much else to know beyond that. You set a timer in the app just like you would in the Clock application built in to your iPhone, start it, and watch the badge icon drop down minute by minute. If you want to be warned prior to the final alarm, you can set pre-alarm notifications as well. The notification you get can be customized, too. Overall the app does one thing really well, looks really slick, and is 100% free. That's hard to beat.
