"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.
