Visual Timer

About this app

Time made visible.

This visual timer turns passing time into an intuitive, flowing experience.
Instead of numbers and stress, time fades away like sand in a sandglass — calm,
clear, and easy to understand at a glance.

The app offers a simple menu with 8 customizable timer slots. Each slot can
store a preset duration and be reused anytime, making it fast to start common
timers without setup.

Every duration is represented by its own color, helping users build a
natural sense of how long different time spans feel:

Red for very short timers

Yellow for 5 minutes

Green for 10 minutes

Turquoise for 20 minutes

Blue for 30 minutes

Purple for 60 minutes

Fading to black for longer durations

This color progression makes time readable without thinking — you immediately
know what a “blue” or “green” timer means.

The timer starts with a single large button. Once running, all controls are
locked to prevent accidental changes and keep full focus on the passing time.
A clear quick exit button is always available if you need to stop instantly.

At half time, a gentle sound signal marks the midpoint.
When the timer finishes, it ends with a clear bing.

To save battery and processing power, the timer does not stay permanently active
in the background. If the app is paused or left, elapsed time is calculated when
you return, ensuring the timer stays accurate without unnecessary resource use.

Designed to be minimal, calm, and reliable, this visual timer helps you feel
time pass — not chase it.
