Is the timer switch the sole control for the fan? or is there another bypass on/off? And assuming it's 120V at home? Wish you had a pic lol

If it's the only switch for the fan, just remove it and install a single pole switch between the blue (load) and black (line/supply) wires.
The neutral should just be there to complete the circuit to allow the timer electronics to operate, you would just cap it off with a wire nut.
If you straight up connect the blue and black wires your fan would be on 24/7 lol.
