Rotate into landscape for a wide timer. The country flag rises during work; rest has its own clear visual cue. HEAR EVERY ROUND Choose bell sounds, voice announcements, haptics and warning cues. Keep your music playing with optional audio ducking. Add interval beeps or random reaction cues to your drills, or record your own sounds. GLOVE-FRIENDLY CONTROLS Tap the screen to pause or resume.
