Universal Second Assistant

The 500-second timer is a popular interval for many tasks, from intensive training sessions, work meetings and presentations, to culinary experiments and yoga classes. You can set up an audio alert in a separate menu to suit any situation, or turn it off completely.

In full-screen mode, the timer shows only the most important thing-the countdown numbers, hiding all the details of the interface, which helps you focus on the task at hand.

The built-in converter in the timer interface automatically calculates and shows how many 500 seconds are in minutes.
