About the Snow Timer
The snow timer is a calming visual countdown: gentle snowflakes drift down from the top of the screen and settle into a growing blanket of snow at the bottom. As the timer runs, the snow keeps piling up higher and higher until it fills the whole screen exactly when time reaches zero. The rising snow gives an at-a-glance sense of how much time is left, without staring at the numbers.
How the Snow Timer Works
Choose a length, press Start, and the snowfall begins. The pile of snow rises steadily in proportion to the time elapsed, so at the halfway point the screen is about half full, and by the end it is completely covered. A soft chime plays and a message appears when the snow finishes filling the screen. Press Reset any time to clear the snow and start fresh.
