Timer AI is a timer for everything you do in blocks of time: focus, meditation, breathwork, sleep, stretching, workouts, cooking. And every session can run inside a place. Pick a ready-made session, choose a scene and press start. A misty forest, a fireplace, rain under an eave, the sea at sunset. The scene moves, its sound plays, and a voice tells you what comes next, so you can stop watching the clock.
