About this app

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely brilliant! It is so simple and intuitive, just flip your phone to start the timer and the bar fills up. Once set it up, no need for a bunch of taps to start it, very low-friction. I have it set up to keep the screen on while in full screen while even hiding the timer text, so it is just the colored bar filling up, such a clean look without distractions! You can even put it on a wireless charger while using it, perfect combination. Highly recommend trying this out.

Seems like a really sharp looking app but sound doesn't work for me. --Updare-- After studying the app further and looking tutorial I figured out the sound. It's a little tricky. But it works. 4 stars for app and 1 star for video tutorial. You should put reference to audio tutorial in the welcome screens.

I need a 30 second timer for stretches and such. Yes, the clock app has a stopwatch but those buttons can be hard to hit when you're doing a plank and then you have to watch it. And here is the perfect app that doesn't even need one screen tap at all! Just flip the phone over for the next rep and I can easily set a sound that I can hear clearly so no looking required at all. Perfection. No ads, no fuss. I thought I'd have to write one myself but here it is already! Thank you!
