A feature packed, thematic timer for OSR and all TTPRG's. ShadowTimer – A Torch Burns. Time Dies. ShadowTimer is a dark, atmospheric torch timer built for tabletop role-playing games where time matters — and light is life. Inspired by Shadowdark RPG and classic old-school dungeon crawling, ShadowTimer replaces abstract turn tracking with a living, burning torch. As the flame fades, tension rises. When it dies, consequences follow. No accounts. No cloud sync. No distractions. Just fire, time, and pressure. Core Features Single Torch Mode Run a single animated torch with a vivid, living flame Ignite, pause, resume, or extinguish the torch at any time Set custom durations from minutes to hours Time remains accurate even when the app is closed Optional sound effects, haptics, and spoken warnings Built for the Table ShadowTimer is designed to enhance the atmosphere at the table — not compete for attention. Optional Keep Screen On mode Clear, high-contrast visuals for low-light play Scalable text for phones and tablets Minimal interface with no clutter or interruptions Fully offline functionality Audio & Accessibility Atmospheric fire and interaction sounds Adjustable volume or full mute Optional vibration feedback Two font modes: ShadowFont — immersive and atmospheric EasyReader — clean and highly readable Settings and instructions always remain easy to read. Perfect for OSR Play ShadowTimer is ideal for: Shadowdark RPG Old-School Essentials Solo RPG play Dungeon crawls and hexcrawls Exploration-focused campaigns Light-as-resource systems Any game where time pressure matters No XP trackers. No character sheets. Just the clock, the flame, and what happens when it goes out. Privacy & Philosophy No accounts No ads No analytics No internet required All data stays on your device ShadowTimer is a tool — not a service. Light the torch. Hear it crackle. Watch the flame shrink. When it goes out… something happens.
