Very useful and beautiful, thanks for sharing!

This also gave me the idea to use web tech to build the timer I always wanted, which is the reverse of this one: a bong when the timer expires, but also ticks every minute (or 5) while the timer is running.

Edit: you also have a very beautiful website... and extremely nice drawings!



I suffer from extreme time blindness and one apparent solution to this is to have a regular metronome like pulse - I would love an app for say a smart watch or something that did this with vibrations!


Managing time blindness has been a challenge, too.

I've discovered a helpful tool: the BlipBlip app on my Android device. This app allows for customizable settings such as selecting a ticking interval—in my case, a 15-minute reminder—and choosing from various ticking sounds, with my preference set to Casio.

Notably, it also enables the configuration of periods without ticking, particularly useful for nights or weekends.

The are plenty of other options but these are the ones I care about the most.


There is an iOS/watchOS metronome app literally called “Pulse” that provides haptic feedback. That might get you part of the way there


Hehe, I'm also working on a "metronome for my attention":

hit me up via hello @ <website> or my newsletter on untested.sonnet.io and I'll message you when I have it.


That's an awesome list! And, yes, Pickel sounds like a tool I'd love to use. Can't wait to give it a try :)
