## What is Slowdial?

Slowdial shows time as an amount: a colored disc that shrinks as time passes. Children (and grown-ups) can see "how much is left" without reading a clock.

NO ADS, EVER. Slowdial never shows an ad — not before the timer, not after it. It is safe to hand to a child or to put in front of a class.

THE TIME YOU PICK FILLS THE WHOLE CIRCLE
Pick 5 minutes or 45 — the disc starts full either way. Prefer the classic 60-minute dial? Switch with one tap.

ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN TOO — FREE
The disc keeps shrinking on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, without opening the app. Use it as a laundry timer — watch the washer and dryer count down on your Lock Screen. When time is up you get a sound and a vibration, even with the screen locked.

FREE
• Full-screen shrinking disc
• Presets from 1 minute to 1 hour, Wash 52 min and Dry 60 min, or any time you like
• Whole-circle or 60-minute dial
• End sound and vibration
• Lock Screen and Dynamic Island disc

SLOWDIAL PRO — one-time purchase, no subscription
• Classroom mode: just the disc, full screen. Taps don't stop it. Hide the numbers. Pick the color.
• Sequences: "Clean up 5 min → Wash hands 3 min → Snack", with a picture and a word for each step
• Controls (iOS 18 or later): start your favorite timer from Control Center, the Lock Screen or the Action Button
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account. Your timers stay on your iPhone.
• Only anonymous usage counts are sent (which parts of the app are used) — never your timer names. You can turn this off in Settings.
