About

A coloured wedge shrinks as the time runs down. Everyone in the room can read it at a glance — no numbers, no arithmetic, nobody asking how long is left. One price, once — iPhone, iPad and Mac. No ads, no subscriptions, no account. SET IT UP • Maximum: 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes • Clockwise or counter-clockwise • Sound and haptics, each switched separately: dial, alarm, interface • The countdown carries on in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen • The screen stays awake while it runs • It keeps real time with the app closed PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. No data collected. Pay once, keep it. HOW IT FEELS • Drag the dial or twist the knob. It ratchets, click by click • Tap to pause, tap to carry on • At zero it shakes, rings and buzzes, like a kitchen timer • Every face sounds different: walnut knocks, glass rings, LCD clicks like a watch button • Flick the dial and it spins down to a stop • Hit either end and it thuds — you feel the limit • Tilt the phone and the polished faces catch the light • Party bursts into confetti. Aurora shimmers while you work FIFTEEN FACES Each has its own character. • Classic — charcoal body, glass lens, red disc • Pastel — candy-soft toy, knurled knob • Rainbow — lilac, an arc that shrinks colour by colour • Neumorph — soft, sculpted, quiet • Glass — translucent, on a light wall • Flat — pure, bold, no chrome • Paper — warm stationery, an ink needle • Wood — turned walnut, terracotta wedge • LCD — dot matrix on a backlit sage screen • Rugged — machined blades behind thick rubber • Midnight — black with a hot coral glow • Halo — a glowing amber ring • Neon — a magenta tube humming in the dark • Aurora — a curtain of light over a starfield • Party — a frosted cake that bursts into confetti Otso is a bear, named for the forest king of Finnish folklore. A timer should sit quietly in the room and be understood without a word. For lessons, workshops, exams, focus sessions, homework and cooking — and anyone who thinks better when time is visible. Children read it as easily as adults.

• Otso: Visual timer for Mac — a chrome-less dial that floats above your work, sized to whatever window you give it, with a wedge in the menu bar that keeps counting when you put it away. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. • Five new faces: Rainbow, LCD, Neon, Aurora and Rugged • A two-hour dial (120 mins), for longer sessions • Start or pause and the exact time flashes up — minutes and seconds — then fades back. This helps you see exactly what time is set and if the timer started. • The screen stays awake while the timer runs, so you can prop it up and glance over • The app is now available in German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Korean • Additional improvements and fixes across every device
