User reviews

I became mindful

Real eyes realize real lies about real time

Simple purpose

And it does it well, with nice aesthetics.

Great app... One complaint

It does exactly what it is advertised to do.
I only wish I could set it to count by 5 minute intervals. Just add 5 minute intervals.
But it’s a great app.
Get it.

sound turns off after 6 minutes

disappointing

Response from developer

Sorry to hear it stopped working for you. Can you describe how you were using it, maybe there's a hint for what use case I missed? I use it all the time and haven't noticed it stop working.

Simple, helpful timer

I’ve been using this simple app to time walks with my brother and mom over the holidays. Low key way to keep track of time without stressing everyone out.
