I built this because I kept opening TikTok instead of studying. Zero ads, zero popups. Just you, the timer, and your thoughts.
My roommate and I use it for 25/5 sprints. The huge digits mean you can see it from across the room β even with bad eyesight.
That soft blurry background? It's not just pretty β it actually helps me stop squinting after hours of writing essays.
No signβup, no tutorials. If you can click a button, you already know how to use it. My mom even uses it for baking.
I used to hunt for the perfect study timer β but everything was either ugly, bloated, or demanded I create an account. So I built this one night when I was procrastinating on my own homework. Now thousands of students use it, which still feels surreal.
There's something about a beautiful tool that makes you want to start working. It's like having a clean desk vs. a messy one. The big retro numbers (that's the Anton font) and the dreamy background trick your brain into thinking "this is a nice place to be." Sounds silly, but it works for me.
βIβve tried dozens of timers, but this one actually makes me want to start studying. Itβs like the Apple of stopwatches.β

I kept adding features at first, then realized: the best tool is the one you don't notice. Fullscreen mode hides everything else. No tracking, no cookies, no "sign up for premium". Just time. I built it for myself, but I'm happy to share it with you.
If you find a bug, sorry β i'm not a professional dev, just a student who likes pretty things.
