Random Timer Generator
by Davis BaerA while back, I was playing a variation of the game "Catch Phrase" with my family, where whoever was holding the game when the timer went off would be eliminated (there is an electronic version of the game, but we were using the old-school manual version).
Rather than using a normal timer, we wanted to find a random timer generator where the timer would go off randomly anywhere between 1 and 60 seconds — and to NOT know when that would happen.
I tried finding something that did this, but everything I found was pretty crappy, so I decided to create it myself.
Some of the use cases for the random timer generator app might be:
-
any Hot Potato type game where you don't want to be the one holding the ball at the end of the timer
-
exercise, where you want some variability and randomness in how long you need to do each exercise
-
meditation. It can be hard to get into flow if you know exactly how long you will be meditating for. Using a random timer generator can make it easier to get lost in the moment, rather than thinking about how much meditation time is remaining.
