## What is Disco Timer?

Boiling an egg, timing a presentation, or starting your next Pomodoro – Disco Timer is a universal countdown clock for all sorts of tasks.

Setting the timer duration is based on 60-minute circle of traditional analog watches – you just wind it up with a single rotary gesture. Then tap the display to run, pause, or reset the timer.

Large, high-contrast representation of the remaining time makes it glanceable from quite a distance. And an option to disable the Auto-Lock can keep the device awake while the timer is running. This comes in very handy when keeping an eye on the progress is as important as the finishing time itself.

The face of the timer can be customized by choosing from a variety of color combinations (Premium feature). And for the completion alert – you can select from a dozen great-sounding tones, all of which are crafted exclusively for Codulis apps.

Give Disco Timer a try, and let us know what you think!

### 5/5 — Great for managing work tasks!

*2026-07-13*

I am using this to chunk my work tasks and it is very helpful for my AuDHD teen to stay on task with time passing.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-08-15*

After trying many timers, I settled on this one. It’s simple and visually attractive to me.

### 5/5 — ⭐️ x 5

*2025-06-29*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 of 5

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-07-24*

Simple, easy, effective. Looks good too. A perfect alarm- set and go.

### 5/5 — Works fine but upgrade offers annoying

*2023-02-22*

Original setup works fine. But recently the frequent offers to upgrade have become irritating.

**Developer response:** In version 1.1.5 the Promo Bar presentation frequency has been reduced. Previously, for those who use timer many times a day, the frequency was too high, I agree. That was an oversight on my side. Thank you for your comment, Martin. Cheers!

### 3/5 — Useless for less than 1 min

*2020-11-09*

No final countdown visuals for less than one minute.  Not intuitive to pause and reset timing.  Requires purchase to have selections of colors.  Not for me.

### 4/5 — So cool, but

*2018-10-09*

I use this often and 4 hrs is the maximum

### 1/5 — Not worth your time

*2018-04-16*

No iphoneX support, clock animation is weak, to be nice.  Why not just show a solid bar rather than a bunch of dots?

**Developer response:** Support for the newest devices has been added in 1.1, in case you want to check it out. The look and feel is not gonna change though, sorry – it’s just a matter of taste. Cheers!

### 5/5 — So simple and useful to use

*2018-03-18*

Love this app because it so simple, reliable and useful!

### 5/5 — Simple, beautiful, a must have!!

*2016-01-17*

How can a timer be a joy to use? Buy it and try for yourself! I heard about this app on the Accidental Tech podcast and decided to buy. The graphics, interface and attention to detail is very impressive.

Just got the All Colors In-app purchase. Yellow is my favorite color.
