Stop counting. Keep doing. Tameno is your versatile, auto-repeating timer that effectively guides you through any repetitive task. Set an interval between 2 seconds and 20 minutes, and Tameno will gently notify you each time it elapses (with a sound, a flash of your screen, or a haptic vibration) – and then automatically restart. = UNIVERSAL PURCHASE = Tameno is a one-time purchase. Buy it once and enjoy it across your Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV! = ANYTHING REPETITIVE BENEFITS FROM TAMENO = I originally built Tameno to solve two very specific daily needs: • Watering the garden: Getting tapped every 30 seconds so I can move to the next hedge plant without losing count. • Brushing my teeth: Getting a 10-second nudge to switch to the next side of each quadrant equally. Since its first release, users have found incredibly creative ways to use it: • Fitness & Health: Running/walking intervals, yoga pose holds, stretching routines, and physical therapy. • Mindfulness: Leading guided meditations, box breathing, and following the 20-20-20 “rule” to reduce eye strain (looking 20m away for 20s every 20 mins). • Productivity: Timing keyframes for manual animations, pacing presentations, and time-boxing tasks. = ALWAYS READY, ON EVERY DEVICE = Tameno provides Audio, Visual, and Haptic feedback perfectly tailored to the device you're using: • Apple Watch: Haptic vibrations (even in the background). • iPhone & iPad: Sound (background/foreground), screen flash (foreground), and vibration (iPhone only). • Mac: Sound, screen flash, Dock icon badging, and a convenient Menu Bar timer. • Apple TV: Sound (background/foreground) and screen flashes (foreground). = WIDGETS & SIRI SHORTCUTS = • Home Screen Widgets: (Available on Apple Watch, Mac, iPhone, and iPad) Quickly access your 'Favorite Interval', see your 'Recently Used' timers, or start a custom interval right from your Home Screen with Interactive Widgets. • Siri Shortcuts: Control Tameno with your voice. Set up custom phrases with custom intervals like “Hey Siri, I’m brushing my teeth” for a 10-second timer, or “Hey Siri, I’m watering my plants” for 30 seconds. --- Should you have any feedback, questions, or just want to say hi, please do not hesitate to contact or connect with me at https://eternalstorms.at/contact I look forward to hearing from you! – Matthias
