NodeDown is a countdown timer built around checkpoints β not just one end time. Set a total duration, then place nodes along the timeline. While the clock runs, NodeDown always shows how long until the next node and until the finish β so you always know where you are and what's coming next. PERFECT FOR β’ Talks and presentations β "Q&A in 5 minutes", "time to wrap up" β’ Exams and proctoring β pace every section with clear time marks β’ Workouts β warm-up, intervals, and cooldown on one continuous clock β’ Livestreams and events β hit every segment right on time β’ Cooking, ceremonies, rehearsals, games β anything with milestones KEY FEATURES β’ One continuous countdown with color-coded node markers on a single timeline β’ Always-visible time to next node and time to end β’ Name and color every node β’ Local notifications when each node is reached β even in the background β’ Haptic and sound alerts (toggleable) β’ Pause, resume, and skip forward β’ Save countdowns as presets and reuse them anytime β’ Sync your countdowns via iCloud β’ Dark mode support HOW IT WORKS 1. Set the total duration (e.g. 60 minutes) 2. Add nodes at the key moments (e.g. 20 and 40 minutes) 3. Press Start β NodeDown keeps track of the rest Simple to set up, clear while running β that's NodeDown.
