I want to display a timer in the foreground while Safari if running (being displayed) on an iPad. Is there a way or an app that will allow me to view both at the same time?

Yes - using the iPadOS Split View, Safari and the native Timer App...




I presume you know how to open Safari and the Clock (Timer) App.


If you are not already familiar with iPadOS multi-tasking and Split/Slide-over views, you may find these overview Apple video guides to be helpful:

The iPad User Guide for iPadOS is also a rich source of information. Here are links to both the downloadable and online versions of the Guide:
