Look for "Army Knife for Android." It includes a timer with the ability to run multiple simultaneous timers, compass, flashlight, etc.

I don't remember it needing any permissions or access. I'm pretty careful about that, myself.

I think the name was originally Swiss Army Knife, but someone complained.

EDIT: I just looked it up. It does need access to the camera -- that's for the flashlight function. They really do seem to be above board.
