Count anything. As many as you like.
Most timers make you watch the clock.
This one gives you somewhere to look.
Set a time, and a little character takes it from there — dancing, breathing, drifting through a world that's yours for the next few minutes. The seconds still pass. They just stop feeling like a countdown.
Pick a friend. Pick a place. Press start.
Dozens of hand-drawn characters and dreamy scenes — a sleepy ghost in the mountains, a cat astronaut, an avocado in the meadow. Every timer is a tiny vacation.
Nothing here is trying to hook you.
No accounts. No badges for “productivity.” No little red dots begging you back. Just a gentle timer, gently waiting with you.
