See how much time is left at a glance. Color Timer is a visual timer with a full screen countdown. As time passes, the colored area shrinks, giving you a clear sense of the time remaining.

There are no ads on the countdown screen and no full screen ads to wait through before starting. Keep the timer open and your screen stays awake while the countdown runs. Save it once. Start with one tap. Save your favorite timers with a name, duration and color, then start them directly from the home screen. Choose 1, 5, 10 or 25 minutes with quick duration buttons, reuse a recent duration, or set your own hours, minutes and seconds. Big numbers, in portrait or landscape Use your phone or tablet upright on your desk or sideways for a meeting, presentation or class. Choose from 18 color themes. Turn on the finishing-soon cue for a change in color and an on-screen message as time runs low. Pause, adjust and keep going Pause and resume, add a minute, or restart when you need to. Lock the controls to avoid accidental taps. Adding a minute to a running countdown leaves your saved timer's duration unchanged.

For a simple Pomodoro routine, start a 25-minute focus timer, then start a 5-minute timer for your break. No account is needed. The timer itself works offline.

TintTimer is a simple fitness interval timer designed for training situations where seconds don’t matter β€” visibility does. Instead of forcing you to constantly watch numbers, TintTimer uses clear color changes to show the progress of an interval. You can recognize how much time is left from a distance or out of the corner of your eye, while exact seconds remain visible when you need them. This makes TintTimer ideal for warm-ups, mobility routines, stretching, cooldowns, and relaxed interval training. Why TintTimer? Most timers are built for precision and constant attention. TintTimer is built for movement. β€’ See interval progress through color changes β€’ Read the timer from a distance β€’ No stress, no constant checking β€’ Designed for fitness, not productivity tracking How it works Choose an interval and start the timer. As time passes, the screen changes color to indicate the current phase of the interval. Numbers count down in the background, while color gives you an immediate visual cue. TintTimer uses three clear color phases to help you intuitively understand where you are in an interval β€” without distractions. Perfect for β€’ Warm-ups before strength training β€’ Mobility and activation exercises β€’ Stretching and cooldown routines β€’ Circuit and station training β€’ Home workouts and group sessions Simple by design TintTimer intentionally avoids unnecessary features: β€’ No accounts β€’ No statistics β€’ No notifications β€’ No distractions Just start the timer and train. Interval options The free version includes commonly used fitness intervals: 10s, 15s, 20s, 30s, 45s and 60s Built for clarity TintTimer focuses on: β€’ Large, readable visuals β€’ Clear color transitions β€’ Reliable timing β€’ Minimal setup Whether your phone is on the floor, a bench, or a wall mount β€” you’ll always know where you are in your interval.
