Each tactile click = 1 minute. Clockwise adds, anticlockwise removes. Ring fills proportionally. 2s still = confirmed silently.
Feel: Notched dial like a watch crown. No button press needed to confirm.

Timer gone · hourglass visible
Button pressed
Timer vanishes → Hourglass
Digital clock disappears. Hourglass takes over — no numbers, no countdown stress. Sand flows at your chosen pace.
Why: Watching 14:31… triggers anxiety. Sand shows progress without pressure.
