01 / THE QUESTION

The problem we set out to solve.

Picking up a phone for a short break can turn into a much longer distraction. Users need to see the remaining time even while another app is open.

02 / OUR APPROACH

Our approach.

The timer stays visible in an overlay. When the break ends, screen dimming and other prompts remind users to return to their activity.

  1. 01

    Floating timer

    Check the remaining break time while using other apps.

  2. 02

    End-of-break prompts

    Screen dimming helps signal that the timer has finished.

  3. 03

    Optional screen sleep

    With one-second sleep mode enabled, the app helps turn off the screen after the timer ends and no touch is detected.

03 / PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

The product experience.

We identified a recurring everyday inconvenience and shaped the essential features into a short, practical workflow. It is a product we designed and published around the path from finding information to using it.
