Boiling an egg, timing a presentation, or starting your next Pomodoro – Disco Timer is a universal countdown clock for all sorts of tasks. Setting the timer duration is based on 60-minute circle of traditional analog watches – you just wind it up with a single rotary gesture. Then tap the display to run, pause, or reset the timer. Large, high-contrast representation of the remaining time makes it glanceable from quite a distance. And an option to disable the Auto-Lock can keep the device awake while the timer is running. This comes in very handy when keeping an eye on the progress is as important as the finishing time itself. The face of the timer can be customized by choosing from a variety of color combinations (Premium feature). And for the completion alert – you can select from a dozen great-sounding tones, all of which are crafted exclusively for Codulis apps. Give Disco Timer a try, and let us know what you think!

This app is a great timer for kids' daily routine tasks such as taking a shower, using the toothbrush or their favourite reading time. Many kids don't understand how to read a clock yet or even a concept like "you have 10 minutes time left!" - this app will be a perfect fit. It teaches kids to self discipline in a funny and non teacher-like manner. Audio and visual alerts help to keep track of their schedule. What suits children will also suit the parents: any kind of schedule like class work, repetitive or ad-hoc sequences of tasks or even sport workouts can be simply scheduled. A special note to parents having a child with ADHD or Asperger: probably time management is often a struggle - especially for seemingly simple tasks like getting dressed or some housework. Such kids do not notice time passing like other kids do. We believe that our timer will be a great support for their daily planning and the ability to finish tasks. Happy timing!
