Talkdown

The speaking timer you don't have to think about.

Talkdown fills the screen with a single colour that drains as you speak. Green while you're fine, amber at ten minutes left, red at five, each change announced in the same five-flash rhythm your pocket would feel.

Animated mock of the timer: a green field drains, turns amber at ten minutes left with two sets of five white flashes, red at five with five heavier flashes, gives one long flash at zero, then goes black while a white counter keeps score of the overtime and the five-bar mark pulses red beneath it.

Two sets of five. Ten minutes left.

Glanceable at any distance

Colour reads at distances numerals can't. Green, amber at ten minutes, red at five.

Pocket mode speaks in buzzes

Vibrate mode keeps the screen dark. Two sets of five buzzes at ten minutes, one heavier set at five, a single five-second buzz at zero.

Overtime with dignity

At zero: one long flash, then black. The counter keeps honest score while the five-bar mark pulses quietly in red beneath it.
