By simply changing the orientation of your device, Tiltly Timer automatically detects the movement and starts the corresponding timer you have predefined. HOW IT WORKS Tiltly Timer uses your devices gyroscope and accelerometer to understand how you are holding it. You can set three different durations for the three main positions: Portrait: Keep your phone upright for your standard timer. Landscape Left: Tilt it to the left for a second custom duration. Landscape Right: Tilt it to the right for a third custom duration. Once you tilt the device, the screen fills with a soothing pastel color and the countdown begins immediately. The giant, bold numbers allow you to check the remaining time from across the room at a single glance. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE We believe that a tool you use every day should fit your personal style. That is why Tiltly Timer offers full customization: Custom Durations: Choose exactly how many minutes you want for each orientation through the simple settings menu. Personalized Colors: Use the built in color picker to assign a unique pastel shade to each timer. Make your cooking timer red, your study timer blue, and your rest timer yellow. The choice is yours. Haptic and Sound Alerts: Stay informed with gentle haptic feedback and clear audio signals when the time is up. You can toggle these alerts on or off to suit your environment. KEY FEATURES Minimalist Interface: A clean, distraction free design that focuses entirely on the time. Gravity Based Control: Start and switch timers just by rotating your phone.
