About this app

Mechanical Timer is a timer built around one simple idea:
Turn time. Feel every tick.
Instead of typing numbers or dragging a generic slider, Mechanical Timer lets you physically wind your timer using an interactive mechanical dial.

Turn the dial.
Feel the ticks.
Press the button.
Start focusing.

A timer you can feel
The large mechanical dial is the heart of Mechanical Timer.

Rotate it naturally with your finger to set your time. Each movement is accompanied by subtle visual, sound, and haptic feedback, creating the sensation of winding a real mechanical timer.

The dial responds to your movement with:

• Precise circular gestures
• Tactile tick feedback
• Smooth mechanical motion
• Momentum and natural settling
• Snap-to-minute precision
• A satisfying physical interaction begins

Watch time unwind

Once the timer starts, the dial becomes a visual representation of your remaining time.

The active arc gradually unwinds as the countdown progresses.

25:00
→ 20:00
→ 15:00
→ 10:00
→ 05:00
→ 00:00

You don't need to constantly check a progress bar.
You can simply see time being released from the mechanical dial.
