STOP IT DEAD ON. You get a number — say 15:00:00. Press GO. The clock runs completely blind. Count the seconds in your head, then press STOP dead on the number. ±5ms is a PERFECT: confetti, screen shake, x10 points, full dopamine. That's the whole game. It's also the hardest thing you'll do today. Every mode unlocked. No daily limits. No ads. SOLO Endless rounds, random targets from 1 to 15 seconds. Build CLEAN-or-better streaks. Chase your first PERFECT — then nine more (the 24K gold button waits at ten). 1V1 DUELS Same number, same nerve — closest average over 3 rounds takes the W. Ties go to sudden death. • COUCH — split screen, one phone, two thumbs • VS BOT — rookie, solid, or cracked practice bots • ONLINE CASUAL — quick matches worldwide • RANKED — RP on the line, protected by fair-play detection: players with beyond-human precision are quietly matched only with each other and kept off the leaderboard. • CHALLENGE LINKS — hit a monster score, send the receipt. Friends tap your link and run the exact same number. Bet they can't. IMPOSTER (3–6 PLAYERS) Everyone sees the target… except one of you. Run the clock one at a time — every time stays sealed until the vote — then vote out whoever's faking it. Play online (3–4 players) or pass one phone around the party. Ties let the imposter slide. MAKE IT YOURS Button skins (SLIME, LAVA, HOLO, GLITCH, more), LED clock faces (MOLTEN, CRYO, VAPORWAVE, more) and arena backdrops. Opponents see your equipped skin — that's the flex. Some things can't be bought: the 24K gold button (hit 10 PERFECTs), THE PERFECTIONIST clock (25,000 points, earned by playing) and the UNDEFEATED clock (15 online wins). GAME CENTER Leaderboards for BEST AVG (your best full 1v1 match, online or vs bot) and ranked RP, plus achievements to grind. Your internal clock is worse than you think. Prove us wrong.

Tap the screen. The timer starts. Tap again. It stops. That is the whole game, and it is harder than it sounds. Tap Timer turns your sense of time into a party game. Set a target, hide the digits, and find out who can stop the clock closest to it. No accounts, no waiting, no setup. Just one phone passed around a room. JUST YOU AND THE CLOCK A clean, precise stopwatch with a full screen digital readout. Start it, stop it, or let it keep counting across stops. GOAL CHALLENGE Pick a target like 5.00 seconds. The timer hides while it runs, so all you have is your own internal clock. Everyone takes a turn, then the results screen ranks who came closest. Land on the target exactly and the confetti does not stop. TOURNAMENT Bracket competition for the whole room. Shuffled seeding, automatic byes, and match by match elimination until one player is left standing. Accidental start? There is a retry. TEAMS Give each team a name and a color, split the room, and play team against team. Scores average across every member. BUILT FOR PASSING AROUND Every player gets a name and a color, and the whole screen turns that color on their turn. A brief pause between turns means nobody taps by accident, and the app always tells you who to hand the phone to next. MADE TO LOOK GOOD Seven segment digits, pixel art arcade panels, and six themes. Pick your own background and number colors, lock the game to portrait or landscape, and play with sound or in silence. No subscription. No ads. No accounts. No data collected.
