## What is TimeCarver?

TimeCarver turns your focus into sculpture. Set a length and stay with it. Minute by minute, a raw block of stone is carved into a work of art, and what it becomes stays a secret until the very end.

HOW IT WORKS
- Choose a stone and a length, from 1 minute to 3 hours
- As the minutes pass, the chisel works the block from rough-out to fine detail
- When time is up, the finished work is unveiled on its plinth
- Short sessions reveal studies; long ones, masterworks

STAY WITH IT
- Soft Crack: your apps stay open, but leave TimeCarver for more than 10 seconds and the stone cracks, with another crack for every further minute away. Locking your screen is always fine.
- Hard Lock (Patron): iOS itself locks the apps you choose until the work is finished, or until you abandon the block.

YOUR COLLECTION
- Every finished work joins your Collection, with its stone, length and date
- 48 works to discover in the Catalog: classical heads, modern forms and odd little totems
- A shelf widget on your Home Screen and Lock Screen shows this week's works
- Follow the carving on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island with a Live Activity

SOUNDS TO CARVE BY
- A soft hammer-and-chisel rhythm while you carve
- Rain, hearth, shore, birdsong, wind, stream, crickets and deep noise
