Read full descriptionHide full description
Aura Timer is a minimalist focus companion that deeply blends timing with flowing light aesthetics. Swipe to switch between stopwatch, countdown, and Pomodoro modes; drag the elegant dial to set duration; assign three colors to any task — once you start, the gradients breathe with your focus, making time visible and tangible. 1.Three Modes, One Swipe A clean home screen with no menus. Simply swipe to land on Stopwatch, Countdown, or Pomodoro — choosing your timing style becomes a fluid instinct. 2.Drag to Set, Like Plucking Light In Countdown and Pomodoro, the dial turns into a precise slider. Drag to nudge the time in minute increments, release to lock it in. It’s satisfying, precise, and turns the moment before starting into a small ritual. 3.Triple-Color Light Library For Reading, Writing, Workout, Meditation, or any custom task — freely pick three colors. Shimmer Timer automatically generates a unique flowing gradient. Switch tasks and the entire light atmosphere changes. Build a color-coded trigger: one glance, and you’re in the zone. Gentle on the eyes even during long sessions. 4.Dynamic Island & Live Activities Once the timer starts, a progress ring and task icon appear in the Dynamic Island. On the Lock Screen, Live Activities show the remaining time clearly. No need to unlock — a single glance keeps you informed, letting the timer quietly fade into the background and protect your deep focus. 5.Shortcuts Automation Deeply integrated with Shortcuts. Set automations to start or stop timing when you open the app, arrive at a location, or at a specific time of day. Turn focus tracking into an effortless habit you don’t even need to think about. 6.Visualized Time Spectrum Review your focus by day, week, or month. The three-color gradients from your tasks appear directly in the charts. Total time, trends, and proportions are clear at a glance. Long-press any day to replay the light flow — it’s like a lifestyle map painted in light.
