Read full descriptionHide full description
Downer Mood Timer is a simple timer app that notifies you of time passing with character illustrations and voice cues. Calm, downer-style character illustrations are displayed at random, paired with subtle voice notifications that donβt interrupt your flow more than necessary. The timer is easy to set and use. By enabling notifications, it works in the background as well. When your device is in silent mode, voice playback is disabled and notifications are delivered using vibration only. All illustrations are carefully selected for this app, and multiple character illustrations appear randomly each time you use the timer. No account registration is required β just launch the app and start using it right away.
