Visual Countdown Timer

A visual timer like a slim reverse progress bar at the top or bottom of the screen.

This would ideally not block anything of the app in use, but still be a visual cue in the corner of our eye to see how much of use time is left before the next intervention.

This way the brain can pre-adjust instead of being hit with an intervention in the middle of a super interesting piece of short content that feels oh-so important to finish.

Especially important for those with time blindness and struggling with transitions (eg ADHDers)! Helps with inner resistance.

Options:

  • On the side of the screen

  • Hovering pie chart timer that can be adjusted in size and position

Super cool extra:

  • Slowly dimming the screen in the last 1-2 minutes with an overlay so it even works when the phone is on its lowest brightness? Or switching to gray scale / slowly desaturating?
