I didn’t set out to build another timer app. I just wanted a decent one.

What the timer app actually does

At its core, the app is a clean, distraction-free countdown timer.

You set the time, press start, and the screen becomes about one thing only: the countdown. There’s no account to create, nothing to configure before you can use it, and no surprise interruptions once it’s running.

It’s designed to be useful in everyday situations:

• Timing focused work sessions
• Cooking without juggling multiple apps
• Short breaks where you don’t want to keep checking the clock
• Any moment where you want time awareness without distraction

It works instantly, loads fast, and doesn’t try to turn timing into a lifestyle.

Designed to be calm, not clever

A lot of timer apps are busy. Animations everywhere, shifting layouts, tiny buttons, and visual noise that actually makes it harder to focus.

This app goes in the opposite direction.

• Large, centred digits that are easy to read at a glance
• No layout shift as the numbers change — everything stays perfectly aligned
• A clear start, pause, and resume flow so you always know the state
• Controls that gently fade back while running, keeping attention on the time

Even small details were deliberate. For example, digits are treated individually so they don’t jitter as the countdown runs. Once you notice that problem in other apps, it’s impossible to ignore.

Optional visual touches — on your terms

Some people like visual rhythm. Others find it distracting. The app doesn’t assume either.

You can choose whether the colon between minutes and seconds blinks or stays still. It’s a tiny thing, but it changes how calm the display feels — and you get to decide.

The interface avoids harsh colours or unnecessary contrast. It’s readable in real-world conditions without shouting at you.

Simple controls that work when you need them

The timer screen keeps interaction minimal:

• A large, round pause/resume button that’s easy to tap
• Clear visual feedback when the timer is running or paused
• No accidental resets or confusing gestures

When you pause the timer, it pauses. When you resume, it resumes — exactly where you left off. No surprises.

No ads. No tracking. No nonsense.

This was non-negotiable.

• No adverts
• No banners
• No “watch this to continue”
• No data harvesting
• No dark patterns

The app doesn’t try to monetise your attention or nudge you into subscriptions just to remove annoyances that shouldn’t be there in the first place.

If I ever add paid options, they’ll be for genuinely optional enhancements — not to fix problems that were intentionally introduced.

Built for real use, not engagement metrics

This timer exists because I use it myself. Every design decision was driven by a simple question:

“Would this annoy me while I’m trying to focus?”

If the answer was yes, it didn’t make it in.

There are no streaks, no gamification, no pressure to “optimise” your time. Just a quiet, reliable tool that does one thing properly.

Why I’m sharing it

In a world full of apps fighting for your attention, this one deliberately doesn’t.

It’s for people who want a timer that:

• Starts quickly
• Looks calm
• Stays out of the way
• Respects your focus

Sometimes the best software isn’t the most feature-packed. It’s the one that feels obvious the moment you use it.

I built this timer because I couldn’t find one that worked the way I wanted. Now it does.

And that’s really the whole point.
