A softer countdown
Not every countdown needs to look serious. The heart is a friendly way to time breaks, routines and fun moments.
While the timer runs, the heart beats gently and the level drops at an even rate. With reduced motion turned on, it simply drains.
Ideas for the heart timer
- A cozy break with a book or a cup of tea.
- A countdown at a wedding, a party or a date night.
- Self-care breaks during a busy day.
- Valentine’s Day activities in class.
Pick your color
Red is the default, but any color works. Try pink on a soft background, or white on a dark one.
Questions and answers
Does the heart really beat?
Yes, gently, while the timer runs. It stops beating when you pause, and it doesn’t move if your device asks for reduced motion.
Does the heart drain evenly?
Yes. The level follows the area of the heart, so it drains at exactly the rate time passes.
Can I use it for a countdown to a date?
This timer counts up to 12 hours. For days until an event, use one of the countdown pages, such as the birthday countdown.
Is it free?
Yes. urTimer is free, with no sign-up.
