Ticktime Pomodoro Timer, Productivity Timer Cube, 3/5/10/15/25/30 Min Presets, Custom Countdown & Stopwatch 1s–99m59s, Sound/Vibration/Silent, Magnetic, Rechargeable, for ADHD Study Work, Gray

I’ve used a lot of timers in my day , from wind-up kitchen ones that sound like a smoke alarm having a nervous breakdown to fancy apps that promise focus but mostly deliver distraction. This little gadget actually does the job. Flip it, set it, and get to work. No fussing with menus, no scrolling through settings like you’re trying to launch a rocket. I use it for my Pomodoro sessions, stretches, even when I’m cooking. It’s small, solid, and has just enough beep to get your attention without making the dog think the world’s ending. Battery life could be better, but I charge it with my phone in the morning and it’s good to go. All in all , a clean, clever, no-nonsense tool that helps keep my easily-distracted butt on track. If you need something that looks good on your desk and actually keeps you moving, this one’s worth the coin.

I’m still making the Pomodoro timer a habit but the times I’ve used it have been great. It is well made and the timer works instantly when you place it down. Bright display and loud alarms keep you in check. I love how it’s small and portable. It’s a good value for the money I’d say.

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 item for people struggling with time blindness.

It took a little bit to figure out some features, like alarm volume when you accidentally turn it to silent, but this is a great item for helping keep an ADHDer on task or within a time limit. We use this on the sink counter during shower time to help keep showers to a minimum for the shower daydreamers. Battery lasts a long time and the indicator helps you know when to charge it.

I've been using this timer now for almost a year and overall, it's pretty good. The small size, clear display, and ability to recharge via USB-C are some of my favorite features. Before using this timer, I had a much larger version of rotating timer I loved, but I found the display to be hard to see at times because it didn't stay backlit during the countdown. This colorful display is much easier to read. One disappointment is that the display itself does not rotate on every countdown setting - see photo - so you have to tilt your head to read the time. I most frequently use 15 and 25 minutes, and these are both 'tilted.' For the price I paid for this device ($35) having the time be vertical should be standard on every side (my other, cheaper timer had this feature built in). There are a lot of useful functions built in, but I've found using them by remembering the function of all the buttons or orientation to be confusing and unhelpful. I literally keep the printed manual on my desk to remember how to do things. For example, when a timer runs out, it blinks endlessly. My old timer simply timed out after blinking for about 5 seconds when the timer ended. This one, the display stays active and you have to remember HOW to turn it off. There are other functions like pausing the timer or counting up instead of down. But I need the manual to remember how to do it - I think instead of multi-function buttons, some standalone buttons would really help a casual user like me. Overall I like the size and colorfulness of this one, but I wouldn't buy it again because of the display rotation.

I'm glad it's small because it doesn't take up a lot of room on my desk. Came partially charged, so I was able to use it right out of the box. Very easy to use, just flip it over to the time you want. No app needed or anything, which I appreciate it because I didn't have to spend any extra time to set up an account or anything to use it. Literally just open the box and you can use it right away. Also, shipping was very fast.

First off, I question every 5-star review of this product. One review even remarked about its voice activation so clearly they are purchased reviews (the device has no voice activation)... What you can do with it: this product has 3, 5, 10, 15, 25, 30 stamped along the outside. When you set it down, whichever number faces up is the timer in minutes. This part works well enough. If you roll the barrel at all, though, it will activate a new timer. There is no way for it to "remember" where it was. What you CANT do with it: Set any other timer at any other increment - at least not without a fight! It has a pause feature: set the timing window to face up and the current timer will be paused. Note that it can NEVER be resumed. You can get around that with manual operation: when the timer is facing up you can manually input the remaining time. Then you turn it GENTLY to its spine - one of the numbers will light up and you can GENTLY turn that number to the top. If any of these moves are done with force, the timer assumes you want a new timer... It can count time if you turn it speaker side up. To see how much time has passed flip the unit to timer side up. Again this activates pause which can never be resumed so you'd have to start counting time all over again... The magnet is barely strong enough to hold it to the fridge. Good thing the device is so much lighter than it looks like it should be, but then it also means it has a very cheap feel to it. This unit needs 2 more buttons: "Lock" to prevent a timer from being overwritten (then you could pause-resume) and "Start" so you can actually use the manual set feature. Note that in the instructions it says to start a manual timer by hitting a volume button but the volume buttons are the same as the minute/second buttons and those buttons won't affect volume until a timer has already started.... So you can't press a button to start a timer. It might be a decent kitchen timer. It could even be useful as a home exercise timer but you have to be careful the not to nudge it! As-is though this thing is only worth maybe $5. Nothing more.

I was really excited for this to arrive. Love the size and looks ok. It's in the premium price range for its competition, and for that, at minimum, I would expect the display to automatically rotate based on the side you're using. It's only properly aligned when using 30 and 5 min modes. I wish it didn't irk me as much as it does so I could give a proper rating for the rest of its features

This might be a knockoff product. If you go to the actual Ticktime site they're showing micro USB charging. Same thing if you look up review videos on YouTube. It's honestly an upgrade so I'm not complaining but thought it was worth noting. The timer itself functions well aside from the lack of pause functionality. I watched a review video where the reviewer stated that it would pause and then resume the time. I didn't even notice that he didn't show it resuming the time and just assumed he was telling the truth. Apparently, this is not the case. It will pause the timer if you turn it up but it does not resume the time when you put it back down, it resets from the beginning. Kind of annoying if you sometimes get interrupted by packages coming to the door for example. I spoke with the seller about it and they did mention it would be a future update so maybe it's something that will be available in the future...

...er lässt sich sicher auch wunderbar als Küchentimer einsetzen, wenngleich klar sein muss, dass man mit 3, 5, 10, 15 oder 30 Minuten "auskommen" muss. Es lässt sich zwar eine individuelle Zeit einstellen, aber das ist etwas umständlich. Ansonsten denkbar einfach: (Beliebigen) Knopf drücken und auf die Seite legen, welche die gewünschte Minutenzahl zeigt. Abbrechen: einfach hochkant stellen. Wir nutzen ihn als Timer im Bad, um nicht zu vergessen, das Fenster zu schließen. Funktioniert wunderbar. Der "Weck"ton ist laut genug, um durch zwei verschlossene Türen gehört zu werden.

I didn’t know I needed a tiny magnetic cube to boss me around, but here we are — and honestly, I kind of love it. The Ticktime Pomodoro Timer is like a personal time coach that doesn’t yell or judge you. Just flip it so the number of minutes you want is facing up (3, 5, 10, 15, 25, or 30), and boom — instant countdown. No fiddling with apps or getting sucked into the black hole of your phone. I have ADHD, so focus can be… let’s say "adventurous." This little guy keeps me locked in and actually makes doing stuff kinda fun. It’s great for work, studying, chores, or pretending to do chores while you stare into the void for 15 minutes. Bonus: it’s magnetic. Mine lives on the side of a metal shelf like some kind of helpful productivity goblin. Also, the adjustable sound and mute mode is clutch — I can use it in silence or let it give me a gentle “HEY, TIME’S UP” beep. Pros: No app, no distractions — just flip and go. Actually makes me start tasks I’ve been avoiding since 2012. Doesn’t make weird ticking sounds like old-school timers (so no horror movie flashbacks). Cons: You may feel personally attacked when it goes off and you're still staring at your coffee. Bottom line: If your brain needs a little structure (or a lot), and your phone is more of a temptation than a tool, this cube is worth it. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had being told what to do by an inanimate object.
