APP IDEA:
NLtimer stands for Never Late timer. The core idea is simple: press START once and then keep your hands free. You do not need to keep tapping buttons, switching timers, or remembering what comes next. Each stage includes a hint, so you do not have to memorize or write down the process. To avoid being late for a moment, event, or destination, you prepare a task in advance, assign a duration to every stage, and set a target real-world time. After that, the timer works automatically. You do not need to restart or switch anything. You simply watch whether you are ahead or behind your plan and follow the hint for the current and next stage. It feels like a timer combined with a notepad.

WHO THIS APP IS FOR:
The app was originally designed for rally drivers as a time-guidance tool in TSD conditions (Time-Speed-Distance) where satellite navigation may not be available. But it also turned out to be highly useful for people with ADHD, people with memory difficulties, public transport users, drivers, business professionals, public speakers, lecturers, teachers, people running multi-stage lab procedures, athletes, and coaches.

MAIN DIFFERENTIATORS:
NLtimer stands out from most timers because:
- stages switch automatically in sequence, so your hands stay free;
- you can combine several tasks and run them as one;
- you can turn several tasks into one SUPERTASK so you do not have to combine them every time;
- you can set a real target time, and the timer will calculate when you need to start in order to finish exactly on time;
- hints tell you what to do now and what comes next, and they switch automatically too;
- tasks can be organized into folders so everything stays structured;
- export and import make it easy to share tasks with others and reuse ready-made tasks, such as training routines;
- backup takes just two taps;
- PiP lets you use any other app while still seeing timer values and stage hints in a floating window.

CORE BENEFITS:
You no longer worry about when to begin moving, when to leave home, when to start brushing your teeth, or when to head to the car so you can arrive at work or at the finish line on time.
You no longer fear being late, because at every moment you can see exactly whether you are ahead of schedule or falling behind.

HOW TO USE IT

Create a task, then create the stages inside that task. Set the duration and hint for each stage. For a key stage such as the finish, set the real-world target time. The timer will recalculate the entire plan in both directions and show when you need to begin the task so that you reach the chosen stage at the exact required time. This is the absolute mode, ABS.

The timer also has a familiar REL mode with no link to real-world clock time. In this mode it becomes a very convenient multi-stage timer. With a single tap, you can increase or decrease the stage time, restart the current stage, or jump to the previous or next stage. Moving to the next stage happens automatically.

Reliability. The timer restores its state after all kinds of unexpected interruptions. Your task keeps running even after a crash or forced exit.

Uniqueness. Run a group of tasks as one task. Turn a group of tasks into a single supertask.

Convenience. Save tasks, organize them into folders. Export and import them to share with friends or move them to another device.
