IN TESTFLIGHT BETA

SET IT. GLOW IT. LET THE TUBES TALK.

Nixie Tube Timer brings the warm hum of a vintage nixie display to your phone. Dial in hours, minutes, and seconds, hit start, and watch the glowing tubes count it down — a focus sprint, a kid's timeout, a pot on the stove. Down to thirty seconds and need longer? Tap +1m and the clock reads 1:30, still running.

It works entirely offline. No accounts, no network code, no ads, no analytics. Just an honest countdown with real presence instead of another flat utility screen.

"The tubes don't argue. They just count."

HOW IT WORKS

  • Set any duration up to 99:59:59 with the hour, minute, and second wheels
  • Hit start — the tubes glow down digit by digit, and the screen stays awake
  • Need longer mid-countdown? One tap adds to the clock while it is still running — no pause, no reset
  • Durations you use often come back as one-tap frequent timers
  • Your chosen alarm sounds at zero, with a haptic buzz — and a notification if you've left the app
> REMAINING: 04:32
> Scheme: Amber Glow • Tick: Woodblock

WHAT IT DOES

RETRO HARDWARE FEEL, ZERO ACTUAL VACUUM TUBES

🔆

Photoreal Nixie Digits

The countdown is rendered from real nixie tube photography, glow and all — the tubes are the whole point, and the rest of the interface stays dark and out of the way.

🎨

Eight Color Schemes

Neon Green, Cyber Blue, Amber Glow, Crimson Red, Deep Purple, Hot Pink, Sunny Yellow, and Rainbow — plus a Full Glow mode that spreads the aura across the whole screen.

🔔

Synthesized Ticks & Alarms

Six tick sounds (Classic, Soft, Digital, Woodblock, Mechanical, Pendulum) and four alarms (Radar, Beacon, Chime, Pulse) — synthesized on the fly, each with its own volume. Import your own audio as a custom alarm, or set either to None for silence.

➕

Stretch A Running Timer

Set one minute, watch it fall to thirty seconds, realize you need longer — tap +1m and the clock reads 1:30 and keeps going. Never stopped, never reset. The amounts on those buttons are the ones you choose; nothing is preset for you.

🔒

Fully Offline

There is no network code in the app at all. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking — everything you set is stored on your own device.

⏱️

Up To 99 Hours

Anything from a few seconds to 99:59:59, timed against the clock so it stays accurate, with the screen kept awake while it runs.
