What this one is for
- Nothing to configure
- One tap to start
- Space bar starts and pauses
Every control that could have been a setting is a default instead. There is one number, one button, and nothing to configure before you can start. It opens at 15:00; change that with the chips under the dial.
Worth knowing
- One number and one button. Nothing to configure before it runs.
- Starting in a single action is the whole design brief.
- The space bar starts and pauses without touching the mouse.
