Time works in sixties. SixtySum does the base-60 math for you, so 50 minutes plus 20 minutes is 1 hour 10 minutes — not 70. Tap H, M, or S, type the numbers, and go. No colon to fumble with. No menus to dig through. No internet to wait for. WHO IT'S FOR Video editors, streamers, audio and stage crews, and anyone who works by the clock and needs the total now — not after another web search.
