Adorable Characters, Always by Your Side A little animated animal keeps you company while the timer runs — Kitty, Shiba, Panda, Froggy, Elephant, Cream Bear, Koala, Peach Pig, Hamster… It counts down with you, cheers you on in the final stretch, and celebrates with you when time's up. Handy Presets + Custom Durations Built-in go-to durations like "Focus," "Catnap," "Zone out," and "Water break" — tap and go. You can also set any minutes and seconds you like, save up to 8, and drag to reorder or rename them to find the set you love best. Skins to Suit Your Mood Two styles: Cartoon Characters and Minimal Solid Colors. Love a character? Recolor it in whatever shade you like, so the interface truly looks like yours. Timer Music & Finish Sounds Play mellow grooves and nature sounds while timing — Recovery, Chill Beats, Stream, Ocean Waves — to keep you company through every session. Finish sounds are your choice too: Charge, Victory, Clear Bell — pick the one that suits you best. Thoughtful Ways to Remind You A finish sound so you never miss when time's up Haptic feedback with vibration for clearer alerts A light cue in the last 5 seconds, so you know the end is near Keeps the screen on while timing, no locking midway Lock Screen + Dynamic Island Check the remaining time right on the Dynamic Island or Lock Screen — stay on top of your progress without opening the app again and again. Simple, Pure, Distraction-Free No complicated settings, no tedious steps. Open it and go — quietly keeping you company to make the most of every stretch of time. Pick a time now, and choose a cartoon animal to wait it out with you.
