Inspired by Holi - The Indian Festival of Color...
and RAINBOWS.

Simply set the session time, press START and watch the numbers fade away leaving only color. The color will change over the period of your session, displaying the SEVEN colors of the rainbow, in order, giving you a colorful, visual reference, showing how far into your session you are with NO NUMBERS.

Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo - Violet
Mnemonics: Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain - Roy G Biv.

For example - if the screen is GREEN you know you are around the half way mark. If the screen is VIOLET you know you are coming to the end of the session.

At the end of the set period the screen will return to RED and display the numbers 00:00 letting you know the session had ended. At this point your screen settings will return to normal and the screen will dim and turn off as per your device settings.

During the set period there are no numbers displayed on the screen, just the color referring to where you are in the session. However, if you do need an accurate time check simply tap the centre of the screen and the amount of time remaining will be displayed. Another tap will re-hide the time. While the numbers are displayed you can PAUSE the timer, RESUME the timer or CANCEL the timer.

An essential tool for anyone who needs to pace sessions, in all types of fields, without having to watch the clock
.
Therapists, teachers, consultants, trainers, class leaders, group invigilators and many others will find this unique session pacer a desirable and indispensable tool to be added to their kit of essential equipment.

Helps you time and pace your session without looking like you are clock watching.

Glancing at the color on your screen gives you a more accurate reference to where you are in the session, unlike numbers which can be misread. (for instance, 60 could be read as 80 but green is always green)

WARNING. BATTERY USE:
This app works by continuously displaying colors on your screen for the duration of the timer. If you have less than 20% battery remaining it is recommended that you plug your device into a power source.

Inspired by Steven Smallwood, a massage therapist and Joelle Makwana, a yoga teacher.
