About

ZEROED

Features

Stop the countdown at exactly 00:00. Closer is better. ZEROED is a precision-timing game built around a single tap. A countdown falls - your job is to stop it the instant it hits zero. The tighter your tap, the higher you rank against players worldwide. Two modes, one mechanic: Solo Mode: is the practice mode. Pick any countdown from 1 to 60 seconds and train your timing in short, focused reps. Your bests, streaks, and a heatmap of every recent tap live on the Stats tab. Global Mode: is the always-running round, the whole world tapping at once. A new countdown starts, players from every country compete to stop it closest to zero, and the top scorer flies their country's flag at the top of the next round. Spectate any time. Jump in any time. No matchmaking. Designed for short, daily focus. Research on focused-attention training keeps finding the same thing: short, frequent sessions outperform longer occasional ones. ZEROED rounds are seconds long, on purpose. You don't need an hour. You need a habit. Features: • Solo practice with custom countdowns (1–60s) • Always-on global rounds — no matchmaking, just join • Country leaderboards — daily, weekly, and all-time • Lifetime stats: best delta, rounds played, sharp and perfect counts • Heatmap of recent taps — see your patterns • Apple Sign-In — no passwords, no email • Dark, minimal ZEROED Pro: Remove ads and unlock Solo's custom countdowns. • Lifetime — one-time purchase, yours forever • Monthly — 3-day free trial, then auto-renews Your purchase supports a small, independent developer.
