A little time. A little colour. Wind Down is a free visual timer that makes time easy to see. Wind the rainbow clock, let go, and watch the colour gently shrink as time passes. WIND, SET AND GO Turn the dial to set a timer of up to 60 minutes, with smooth winding and optional haptic feedback. Enter minutes and seconds with the plus button, or choose a saved activity for everyday routines such as reading, brushing teeth or taking a break. SEE TIME YOUR WAY Full scale lets your chosen duration fill the ring, making the time remaining easy to understand at a glance. Tap the clock to switch to the numbered 60-minute scale, with a gentle animation between the two. Tap the centre face to pause or resume. A CALMER SCREEN Controls fade after a moment of inactivity. Tap the background to show or hide them, and adjust the clock directly whenever you need to. Choose Rainbow, Green, Blue or Orange, with an optional smiling face and digital countdown. A smiling flower blooms when time is up. MAKE IT YOURS Save activities with your own names and durations. Choose a finishing sound, optional repeating sound, haptic feedback and screen-awake settings. Separate settings and timer-control locks help prevent accidental changes.
