Relax Timer

This animated relaxation timer pairs a countdown with an illustrated meditation scene for people timing breathwork, meditation, or wind-down sessions. The animation loops gently to set a relaxed, unhurried tone for breathwork, meditation, and wind-down sessions. The figure uses a fixed hand-illustrated palette, so it looks its best on the page's own neutral background.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose a duration

    Set the countdown for a meditation, breathwork, or wind-down session. The illustrated scene stays above the timer digits while the countdown runs.

  2. 2

    Start a calm session

    Start the timer and place the page where it is easy to glance at without interrupting the activity. The illustration has a fixed palette; timer digit colour can be adjusted in settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the colors of the meditation figure?

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 low-contrast, and it 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 figure 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.

Will more animated timers be added?

Yes — the /animated route group is built to host more animated timers over time, each at its own URL so they stay performance-isolated.
