### 3/5 — Suggestion

*2026-02-26*

Wish there was an option to save and reuse timers rather than them auto-deleting once complete. It would also be useful if the timers could be individually organized rather than being automatically sorted by length

### 2/5 — Wish I could remove banner notification on the time screen

*2025-11-18*

This app would be great for concentration, but I hate the banner that populates as each time interval is up. It requires touching the screen to collapse it. I don’t want the notification at all. Just the ding. Looking at the clock is sufficient to see that the time is done and now you are on to the next step. This is a distracting and unnecessary function that covers the important content

### 4/5 — So nice!

*2025-11-17*

This is a beautiful and easy visual timer. I wish they would add support for Apple Watch.

### 5/5 — great!

*2025-08-12*

This is a great simple visual timer! One other review mentions you cannot set the time for the timer but i just found it wasn’t immediately intuitive so it takes a little work to figure it out. but you totally can set the time. the only thing i wish was that there was a tutorial on how to use the timer so i knew how to use it immediately :)

### 1/5 — Baddd

*2025-04-29*

This app doesn’t let you set how long the Timer duration is!

### 5/5 — Awesome minimalist timer

*2025-01-07*

I was looking for a visual timer that did not have too much going on and came across this app. It is beautifully executed and very calming to look at. My intention is to use it while I am studying so I can set goals, but I did not want something that was distracting. I love the fact that you can shut the eye so it just shows the circle! The only thing I wish it had was for the circle to fill up in its entirety when setting a smaller time goals.
