About

Manifold Timer

Features
Read full description

Most timers show you a number counting down. Manifold shows you a shape. The face of this timer is a live hyperbolic nested toroid, rendered in real time. It turns while your session runs, and its geometry carries the remaining time — so a glance tells you where you are without pulling you into reading digits and doing arithmetic. It is the rare timer you do not mind leaving on screen. WHAT IT DOES · Focus sessions with a manifold that responds to the time remaining · Alarms that ring at the time you set — through Silent mode and through a Focus · A stopwatch, for when you want the other direction · Live Activities, so the session stays readable on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island · A Home Screen widget for the current session · An Apple Watch app, kept in sync with your phone BUILT NATIVELY SwiftUI and RealityKit, with no game engine underneath. The geometry is generated, not a video loop, so it stays sharp at any size and costs almost nothing to run. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no analytics, no ads, no backend. Sessions and settings live on your device. Nothing in Manifold flashes or strobes.
