Focus begins the moment you set the time. Multis is an interactive 3D focus timer you can turn, press, and explore. Instead of typing a number, choose a timer with its own personality and begin a session as if you were handling a real object. Five distinctive timers • Orbit: a sculpted timer inspired by a classic dial • Flip Block: rolling number blocks that make time visible • Ceramic Twist: a warm ceramic timer made to turn • Soft Stopwatch: a friendly clay stopwatch • Tomato Pomodoro: a playful timer made for Pomodoro sessions Tactile controls • Set anywhere from 1 to 60 minutes by moving the visible dial or timer body • Press the timer's physical control to start or pause • Drag to rotate the timer through 360° and pinch to zoom • Try a random angle or return to the clean front view at any time Stay in the moment • See the remaining time with Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Pause and resume directly from the Live Activity • Choose from five completion sounds and hear time pass with a subtle tick • Keep the timer running outside the app and receive a completion alert Forget the task list for a moment and focus on the one block of time in front of you. Multis turns the act of using a timer into something tactile, playful, and calm.
