"Just astonishingly fun." — John Gruber A BETTER EVERYDAY TIMER I dreamt of a timer I could use every day that would simplify time and make the most of every moment it counted. Inspired by the simple egg timer, Timer more honestly represents time as a single dimension. No hours or seconds—just minutes. There's nowhere to get lost. Scroll to set. Tap to start. Get back to life. STOPWATCH & OVERSHOOT When time expires, it doesn't stop at 0. Timer flips and begins to count up. This turns out to be pretty useful if you missed the alarm and don't know how much time has elapsed or if you cook and just need another minute without the hassle of setting another timer. Or scroll down to 0, tap, and it becomes a stopwatch ready to measure any length of time. PLAYS LIKE A GAME, WORKS LIKE AN APP Next generation user interface designed and built in 3D with animation and sounds inspired by video games. BIG & READABLE Time you can read from across the room. Optional setting to keep your screen on during countdowns. SKINS Skins change the whole look and feel of the app. New skins and collaborations every season so you can keep it fresh. WIDGETS Drop a custom timer on your home screen for fast, one tap access to daily timers for coffee brewing, workouts, and other daily routines.

BE MINDFUL This is NOT the full CP Time game — it’s the timer you’ll use while playing the physical CP Time card game. Think of it as your high-energy, buzzer-beating, score-tracking, sound-pulsing partner for game night. Whether you're rocking OG Style or Feud Style (Team Play), this app brings the heat — visually and sonically — to keep the pressure on and the fun flowing. Key Features: Randomized Timer Tap the red button and wait. Will it buzz in 3 seconds? 10? No one knows. Perfectly mimics the unpredictable energy of CP Time. Two Game Modes OG Style: Each player takes turns answering “List 3” questions before the buzzer sounds. Feud Style (Team): Two players face off head-to-head. The pressure is real. The points are real-er. Visual & Audio Cues Sound effects + color-changing screen make it easy to know when time’s running out — or totally up. Optional Mute Mode Want to keep it quiet? Turn off the sound and play with just visual cues. Mirror to Your TV Use AirPlay or screen mirroring to cast the app to your TV, so everyone at the table can see the action. Scorekeeping Built-In Track player or team points directly in the app. Solo mode includes a full scoreboard view. Team mode handles alternating turns and 2-point/1-point scoring automatically. Game Resume Feature Accidentally hit back? Want to change team names mid-game? We got you. Continue your game where you left off, even after edits. Full Rules Included Tap into the in-app rules at any time for a full breakdown of gameplay, bonus rules, and strategy. For New & Veteran Players If you're new to CP Time, make sure you grab the physical card game deck to actually play. This app does not include questions — it’s a timer and companion tool built to be used alongside your deck. Already own the game? You’re in for a smoother, more electrifying experience that keeps the rounds fast and the vibes on point.
