Readable across the room
A large ring that empties clockwise. You see how much is left without stopping to read digits.
Visual timer for Android
See the time left, not just the numbers.
A countdown timer you can read from across the room. The time left is a glowing ring that empties like a kitchen timer, so a glance tells you how long is left.

What it does
Everything a timer needs. Nothing it doesn't.
One screen, one gesture: pick a duration, watch it run, stop it when it's done.
Colour carries the urgency
Calm while there's time, amber under a minute, red for the final ten seconds.
One-tap presets
1, 3, 5, 10 and 20 minutes, plus any duration you choose. Pause, resume, or add a minute mid-timer.
On your lock screen
The countdown ticks live in the notification, and the alert lights up a locked phone when time is up.
Ticks, chimes and buzzes
An optional tick every second, then fifteen seconds of chime at alarm volume. Each one can be switched off.
Survives anything
Sleep, battery saver, the app being closed, even a restart. A running timer picks up exactly where it was.
Screens
Designed for a glance.
Dark or light, following your phone or your choice.

Accuracy
Why it doesn't drift.
Most timers subtract a second, once a second, and quietly lose time whenever the phone is busy or asleep.
Countdown records the instant your timer will finish and works out what is left from the clock, from scratch, every time. The alert is scheduled through Android's alarm clock, so it fires on the second it is due, even if the app itself was closed.

Private by construction
It can't share your data. It has no way to.
Countdown doesn't request the internet permission, and Android won't open a network connection for an app that hasn't asked for one. That makes privacy a fact you can check, not a promise you have to trust.
Read the privacy policy- No account. Open it and set a timer.
- No ads, no analytics. No third-party code of any kind.
- Stays on your phone. Presets and settings never leave the device.
Questions
Good to know.
Does it keep running with the screen off?
Yes. The countdown keeps going in the background and shows live on your lock screen. When it reaches zero the alert sounds and the screen wakes, even if the phone is locked.
Will it ring in silent or Do Not Disturb mode?
The chime plays at alarm volume, so the ringer switch doesn't silence it. Do Not Disturb can, unless you allow Countdown as an exception in your phone's Do Not Disturb settings.
Why doesn't it need the internet?
A timer has nothing to download and nothing to upload. Leaving the permission out keeps the app small, fast, and provably private.
Which phones does it work on?
Any phone running Android 8.0 or newer.
