Liten Countdown has been designed to have the ultimate abstract interface - 100% content and no visual interface elements. Goodbye, skeuomorphism! Hello, simplicity.
HOW IT WORKS
• Drag to Set The Time
• Tap to Start / Pause
• Double Tap to Reset
ALARMS
When the countdown timer finishes and the app is open, a bell will ring. If the app is closed, a push message with an inspirational quote will appear along with the bell sound. Alarms are usually stressful, but with the inspirational quotes found in Liten Countdown you will know when time is up without having to focus on your stress level.
MUTE MODE
Please note that when your phone is muted, no sound will play at the end of countdown. If you have vibration activated, the phone will vibrate instead.
USAGE
Liten Countdown timer is perfect for:
• Meetings - never host a prolonged meeting again. Set the timer and everyone will know when the meeting is over
