Design Timer
About the Design Timer
This Design Timer timeboxes wireframes, critique rounds, and pixel passes so shipping beats infinite tweak loops. Studios run timed design jams, freelancers bound mockup revisions, and students present when the block ends even if one icon nags them. Design iteration timers for wireframes, critique, and polish. Separate exploration blocks from refinement blocks; mixing them breeds endless gray options.
How to use it
- Open the Design Timer page and pick a preset or enter a custom duration.
- Label the task, client, topic, or milestone in the task field before starting.
- Press start when you begin real work, not when you open unrelated tabs.
- Pause only for true interruptions; keep the block honest for future planning.
- Stop when the alert sounds and decide consciously whether to start another block.
Good to know
A focus timer does not finish the work for you. Pick one task before you start, and keep the tab open so the break actually arrives on time.
