Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the colors of the cat?
No — the illustration uses a fixed hand-drawn palette so it always looks consistent. You can still change the timer digit color in settings to keep the numbers readable against the scene.
Does the animation distract from the timer?
It is intentionally slow and sits above the digits, so the countdown stays the clear focal point.
Does it respect reduced-motion settings?
If your device requests reduced motion, EasyTimer.app pauses the animation and shows a still frame, so the cat no longer moves.
Why is this on its own page instead of in the background settings?
The animation uses a separate animation library (Lottie) that we keep off the homepage for fast load times. Its own route means visitors who do not want it never download it.
