A beautiful, out of the way timer. Keep focus on your tasks without worrying about time. Perfect for design sprints, workshops, exercises, teaching, etc. Designed for situations where you want your workshop participants to be aware of the exercise time at a glance, without loosing focus on their task. Timeface The timer design makes it impossible to know the precise time other than an overall relation to the time set. This makes people focus more on the task in front of them, instead of worrying about an ominous constantly down ticking digital timer. The timer can be set in different colours, so you can fit it to the context, room and experience you are working within. Sound design When time runs out the timer plays a distinct and recognisable alarm, that has been crafted to sound pleasing and open instead of the regular angry timer sounds we are used to.
