Time you can see, for work, study, and the moments in between. Glow Timer turns a countdown into a changing field of light, color, and waves. Keep it beside your notes, your book, or your workspace to see how much time is left. SET YOUR OWN PACE Start with a 3-, 15-, 25-, or 50-minute preset. Swipe to adjust the duration, and double-tap to start, pause, or resume. FOCUS, THEN TAKE A BREAK Use focus mode to move between a work session and a short break. Adjust the work and break durations in Settings. FIND YOUR GLOW Choose a color theme to suit the moment, and change the app language from Settings. Some themes require an in-app purchase.
