Ticktime Pomodoro Timer Cube, Hexagon Productivity Timer, Pause & Resume, Silent & Adjustable Sound Alert, for ADHD, Task, Work, Study, 3/5/10/15/25/30min & Custom Countdown - Gray

Love this timer! Cute and functional.

I really like this timer. There are preconfigured time settings, and it's really easy to use - just set it with the time you want facing up. It helps to set a "minimum" time you will work on something and before you know it, the timer is going off and you just keep on going!There is also a magnet on the bottom if you want to stick it to a metal table.The only issue I have with it is it is challenging sometimes to turn it off. You have to hold both arrow buttons but sometimes that just cycles the times.

UPDATE: Still 4 stars. Been using for a couple of weeks constantly. I just use the "52" and 5 minute timers.The flashing and volume and countdown screens are just what I wanted and I'm pleased with them both. The "hold" feature is essentially worthless because unless you have the hand-eye coordination of a safe cracker, when you try to restart the time, you will "roll" it to another timer and just start over. I was thinking the battery is fine because it shuts off pretty quickly when not in use. However, just now, I'm getting the low battery warning, and I just charged it the other day. You can for sure get three work days of use between charges.INITIAL REVIEW:Using this product is pretty simple. It is well built and feels like a quality product. However, I've taken one star off because the timer numbers are, in my opinion, upside down. One side of the timer has the color countdown clock. This is great! However, when the device is pointed where you can read the countdown clock, the big numbers are upside down. That means that I use the "52" all the time instead of 25. It is only an aesthetic thing now. Also, undocumented as far as I can tell, is that when the timer goes off, it flashes and beeps a few times then shuts up instead of beeping forever until you shut it off! Then after a period of time that I've not measured, the device turns off automatically thus saving the battery. OH, it also only took less than an hour to charge when I first got it. It blinks when it is charging, and stops blinking when it is charged.

Great! Neat little timer! It's smaller than I expected for some reason (maybe about an inch and a quarter high when it's on its side?) but it works great for me (I'm ADD and tend to get into what I call "nonproductive flow states" and this helps knock me out of them).

Ah man - this was so close, but yet so far!Okay so the positives:Compact Design: The small and compact design of the TickTime Pomodoro Timer perfectly suits my needs. Its unobtrusive presence on my workspace allows for easy integration without taking up much space.Magnetic Flip Focus Timer: The innovative magnetic flip focus timer is a standout feature. It provides a simple and intuitive way to select different intervals, adding a level of customization that enhances my productivity.So - why so far? The Deal Breaker:Pause and Resume Functionality: Unfortunately, the absence of a pause and resume function has proven to be a significant drawback. In the midst of a busy work environment with numerous potential distractions, the inability to pause the timer and later resume where I left off is a deal breaker. Instead, I'm forced to start a new timer, disrupting the flow of my Pomodoro sessions. This limitation significantly impacts the adaptability of the TickTime Pomodoro Timer to real-world work scenarios where interruptions are inevitable.In summary, while the TickTime Pomodoro Timer offers a compact design and an innovative magnetic flip focus timer, the absence of a pause and resume function may hinder its effectiveness, especially for users with dynamic work environments requiring flexibility in managing their Pomodoro sessions.

I really like using this little timer. Once I got down how it functions, it's much easier to use than setting a timer on my watch whenever I make tea, time stretches, etc. The interface is easy to use once you understand a couple things:To turn it on, just press either of the buttons. You can also manually turn it off by sitting it with the screen facing up and holding both buttons for a moment. It will also turn off on its own after a moment with the screen facing up.Once it's on, set it on any side to start the timer. Whichever number is facing up is what it will count down from. Set it with the screen facing up to stop the timer.To set a custom timer, turn it on, set it with the screen facing up, and press the M+ and S+ buttons to set the minutes and seconds you desire.To set the volume, set it on any number-side down and press the V+ or V- button for whichever loudness you want.To count up, turn it on and set it with the screen facing down. Stand it with the screen facing up to stop the counting.Alarms and the counting-up cannot be resumed, only started again.I hope this helps! I really like this little device.
