Timer Graph Pro
Read full descriptionHide full description
This app lets you connect timers together to create powerful and flexible timer flows. For example, you can create a timer that starts a 5-minute countdown immediately after a 10-minute timer ends. Or you can add reminders that repeat every minute afterward. By connecting simple timer blocks together on a canvas, you can build custom timers that match exactly how you work and think. Many students use Pomodoro timers for studying — but is the standard Pomodoro method really the best fit for your personal pace? What if you want to take a longer break after five Pomodoro sessions, switch subjects, and then repeat another five sessions? What if you want to repeat that entire cycle five times? With this app, you can build timers like that yourself.
