    Hi @Anony1k 

     

    Add a button in your app with this code in the OnSelect:

     

    If(
     varTimerRunning,
     UpdateContext({varTimerRunning: false}),
     UpdateContext({varTimerRunning: true})
    )

     

     

    Create a timer control in your app and set its Start property to varTimerRunning.

    Clicking on the button will start the timer. If you click again it will stop the timer. 

     

    If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊
