Slowdial – Visual Timer
Countdown Clock, Focus & Kids
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
No ads, ever — safe to use in front of children. One-time purchase. The disc shows on your Lock Screen too.
Slowdial shows time as an amount: a colored disc that shrinks as time passes. Children (and grown-ups) can see "how much is left" without reading a clock.
NO ADS, EVER. Slowdial never shows an ad — not before the timer, not after it. It is safe to hand to a child or to put in front of a class.
THE TIME YOU PICK FILLS THE WHOLE CIRCLE
Pick 5 minutes or 45 — the disc starts full either way. Prefer the classic 60-minute dial? Switch with one tap.
ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN TOO — FREE
The disc keeps shrinking on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, without opening the app. Use it as a laundry timer — watch the washer and dryer count down on your Lock Screen. When time is up you get a sound and a vibration, even with the screen locked.

SLOWDIAL PRO — one-time purchase, no subscription

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account. Your timers stay on your iPhone.
