About

Toki

Features
Read full description

Keep time with your own drawings. Toki turns your drawings into stopwatches. Draw a shape or write a word on a black canvas. When you finish drawing, your marks become a stopwatch. Tap a drawing to start, and tap again to pause. Run several stopwatches independently and arrange them freely on one screen. Change their color, size, and rotation. From a little doodle to a handwritten word, make each stopwatch your own. Your elapsed time continues while you're away from the app. Enable Live Activities in Settings to see your running drawings and times on the Lock Screen. Open the weekly calendar to revisit your past drawings and see your collection grow, day by day.
