Milo vs. the alarm

Why does every timer feel like an alarm?

The story

Milo is creative and ambitious, and a harsh red alarm keeps jolting him out of his study sessions. He switches to Zen Timer: he picks Study, the rain starts on the window and Orbilla breathes gently beside the timer. His shoulders drop and the work starts to flow. When the round ends, Zen Timer moves him into rest by itself, and a new plant blooms in his Zen Garden. No siren, no guilt, just a cup of tea and a calmer morning.

Milo is a character from our short films, not part of the app. Orbilla is the companion you’ll meet inside Zen Timer.
