Turn the passage of time into a single bar across your screen. Counting down the minutes shouldn't mean doing math in your head every time you check. With Wane, you just look at the bar — and you know how much time is left, instantly. WHAT IT DOES - Switch between countdown and count-up - Set time by duration or by a specific end time - Save your go-to presets (5 min, 25 min, 1 hour, etc.) - Brown noise playback to help you focus - Toggle numbers on or off - Three bar sizes to fit your screen - Lock screen and home screen widgets - Live Activity support for at-a-glance tracking - Dynamic Island capsule shows your bar at all times GREAT FOR - Studying or deep focus sessions - Cooking and workout timing - Pomodoro-style work blocks - Keeping your social media or short-video scrolling in check - Anyone who prefers to feel the passage of time rather than read it Even with another app open, a glance at the Dynamic Island tells you exactly how much time is left. Perfect if "just five minutes" on social media keeps turning into an hour. Simple enough to use every single day.
