About the Bubble Timer
The bubble timer fills the screen with soft, floating bubbles that gently drift and bob. As the countdown ticks away, the bubbles pop one by one - each with a little ripple - until the very last one bursts as time runs out. It's a calm, mesmerising way to watch time pass, and the shrinking cloud of bubbles gives an at-a-glance sense of how much is left.
How It Works
When you start the timer, the bubbles begin to pop at a rate set by your chosen duration - a full screen of bubbles at the start, thinning out steadily until none remain at zero. A sound plays and a notification appears when the last bubble pops.
