Haptic Countdown Timer for Apple Watch Silent. Discreet. Customizable. VibeCraft Timer is a standalone Apple Watch app that replaces loud alarms with gentle haptic vibrations. Set a countdown timer, choose your vibration intensity, and feel a quiet nudge on your wrist when time is up β€” no sound, no screen glare, no interruptions. KEY FEATURES β€’ Custom Haptic Intensity: Choose how strong and how often your Apple Watch vibrates at the end of the countdown. Higher intensity means more repeated vibrations for a more noticeable alert. β€’ Standalone watchOS App: Runs entirely on Apple Watch β€” no iPhone required during use. β€’ 3-Second Test Mode: Preview your selected vibration pattern instantly before setting your timer. β€’ Slide-to-Control UI: Use intuitive swipe gestures to cancel a running timer. β€’ Adjust on the Fly: Change vibration intensity even while the countdown is active. β€’ No Data Collected: 100% private β€” zero data tracked or stored. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open VibeCraft Timer on your Apple Watch. 2. Tap β€œSet Vibration” on the home screen. 3. Choose your desired vibration intensity. 4. Start the countdown timer. 5. When time's up, your watch vibrates silently β€” repeated pulses based on your chosen intensity level. PERFECT FOR Meditation, breathwork, yoga, classroom exams, quiet meetings, focus sprints (Pomodoro), HIIT intervals, or any situation where a silent wrist alert is better than a beeping alarm. PRICING VibeCraft Timer is free to download and includes all core features. A one-time Premium upgrade unlocks Smooth Mode β€” vibration that slowly builds up to your set level instead of starting abruptly. Perfect for meditation, naps, or soft reminders where a gentle onset makes all the difference. Developed by YU CHEN YEH - Franky | Independent Developer
