Hatch a pet every countdown.
Set a duration and an egg starts to warm. As the minutes pass the shell cracks, one crack at a time, so you can see how much time is left without reading a number. Near the end a beak breaks through. At zero the shell gives way and an animal steps out — and that animal is yours to keep.
There are 84 of them, from a chick and a duckling to a dragon, a seaserpent, and a phoenix. Longer timers have better odds of something rare, so a 5-minute tea steep and a 2-hour deep work block feel genuinely different.
Most timers ask you to interpret a shrinking bar or a running number. Eggleton gives you countable cracks — a glance tells you "three left" instead of "somewhere past halfway." It is the same information, in the form your eye reads fastest.
And it gives you a reason to let the timer finish. Cancel at minute 22 of 25 and nothing hatches. That small pull is the whole point.
Pomodoro sessions, study sprints, and deadlines that deserve a finish line.
Tea, coffee, and eggs — the original job, done with something to look at.
Workout intervals and rest periods, readable across the room.
Screen-time limits and "five more minutes" for kids, with a payoff at zero.
No account. No ads. No tracking. No network requests of any kind — the app never sends anything anywhere, because it has nothing to send. Your collection lives on your device. Read the privacy policy; it is short, because there is very little to say.
Reduce Motion, Reduce Flashing, and VoiceOver labels are built in, not bolted on.
Twelve animals — three of every rarity, legendaries included — are free forever. If you want the whole roster, one purchase opens the other seventy-two, permanently, on every device you own. No subscription, no currency, no timers you can pay to speed up. The odds never change.
All 84 animals. One purchase, forever — $4.99 in the US; the price shown in the app is the one for your region. Non-consumable, Family Sharing enabled, and restorable from Settings › Collection.
