About

Tick

Read full description

A rule-driven time management tool to pace and structure. With Tick, you can build a Flow to navigate seamlessly through timed stages, or chain multi-tiered alerts to a single Event using rule-based scheduling. ------ Highlights ------ ■ Flow:Staged Timelines Construct multi-stage timelines for Pomodoro, HIIT, pour-over coffee, and breathing. Each interval advances with a tactile, high-contrast flip-card rhythm. ■ Event:Multi-Tiered Alarms One event, multiple scheduled rings. See your current interval and the next precise trigger point at a single, uncluttered glance. ■ Rule:Dynamic Scheduling Logic Alert schedules are dynamically calculated by custom execution logic - weekdays, variables, and date ranges. No fixed, repetitive adjustments required. ■ UI:Industrial Card Aesthetic High-contrast monolithic panels paired with an old-school monospaced font, delivering a tangible, deeply mechanical timekeeping feel. Whether you need a Pomodoro timer, HIIT interval clock, coffee brewing guide, or breathing exercise tool, Tick is the minimalist choice that adapts to your rhythm. ------ Manifest ------ No social noise. No gamification. No habit tracking hooks. Try Tick. Just time, marked.
