About

Slice/Timer

Every task can be sliced. A workout might be five minutes to warm up, twenty to push hard, then five to cool down. Slice Timer lets you carve those parts into a single round, easy-to-read clockface. Each slice is a piece of the pie—different lengths, different alarms, all working together as one task. The design makes it effortless. Glance once and you see exactly where you are and what’s next. Each slice can buzz, beep, or wait for your tap before moving on. And if you need to adjust, you can jump or restart with a single touch. Workouts, study sessions, recipes, daily routines—any task fits perfectly into slices. Break it down, shape your pie, and let Slice Timer keep you on track.
