What's New in Gentle Timer

Make every timer fun to watch! A fire truck drives around your timer and puts out fires. Baby chicks hatch along your character's path. When time is up, a trophy pops up to cheer you on. A little puppy keeps you company on your Lock Screen, too. Use it for cooking, workouts, study time or a calm break.
