Visual timer
Watch time as a red disk that shrinks until it is gone. One glance tells you how much is left, with no numbers to work out.
Why seeing time helps with time blindness
Many people with ADHD do not feel time passing: ten minutes and forty can seem the same from the inside. A number counting down does not fix that, because you still have to work out what it means. A shrinking shape shows it directly.
Use it for anything that needs an edge: getting ready in the morning, a homework block, a shower, screen time, a break that should stay a break. Put it on full screen where you can see it from across the room.
Timers for the tasks you actually have to do
Recordo ties a focus timer to each task, with your steps beside it, and reminds you when the task is due so you do not have to remember to start.

What is a visual timer?
A timer that shows the remaining time as a shape instead of digits. Here it is a red disk on a clock face. As time passes the disk gets smaller, and when it disappears the time is up.
How do I read it?
The face is a 60 minute clock, so a quarter of the disk is always 15 minutes and half is 30. Timers longer than an hour fill the whole disk and shrink from there.
Is it good for kids?
Yes. Children who cannot read a clock yet can still see the red getting smaller, which turns "five more minutes" into something they can check for themselves.
Can I use it full screen?
Yes. Press Full screen and prop your phone, tablet or laptop where you can see it. The sound plays when the time is up as long as the tab stays open.
