Choose any emoji, color the sand, glass, and supports, and build something you'll recognize at a glance. Tap randomize for instant inspiration, or save a favorite design as your Default for new timers and the stopwatch. SIMPLE TO START, POWERFUL UNDERNEATH Launch the app, tap, and go.

REPEAT & REST AUTOMATION Set it once and Mojisand runs your whole routine hands-free: work, rest, work, rest. Perfect as a Pomodoro focus timer, a HIIT or Tabata interval clock, an EMOM tracker at the gym, a study drill pacer, or a kitchen timer that cycles through every dish.

Every lap is color-coded with instant feedback and trend graphs so you can track progress over time. ALARMS Wake up your way.

Each city displays as an animated hourglass with emoji sand that fills as the day progresses. Add up to four clocks per page, each with its own colors and emoji, so you can tell Tokyo from Toronto at a glance. HANDS-FREE ALERTS Haptic feedback, banners, and notifications reach you even when the app is closed. Smart in-app alerts keep things quiet when you're focused. YOUR MUSIC, YOUR MOMENT When you're done, your soundtrack kicks in. Dismiss the alert and start listening. Link a song from Dee Jellie, Drac's Jukebox, Echolair, or your Apple Music library to any timer or alarm. Ease into your morning, power through reps, or unwind after a focus session. LIVE ACTIVITIES Glance at your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island to see how much time is left. No unlocking, no switching apps. Pause, continue, and restart in one tap. SIRI & SHORTCUTS "Start my Pomodoro timer." Control any timer by name with Siri or the Shortcuts app to start, pause, and reset without touching your phone.
