-----------------------------
Visual Timer Colors:
- GREEN - Plenty of time. Keep on doing what you’re doing.
- YELLOW - Not much time left. Now its time to start "finish up" / "increase the pace" to get everything done.
- RED - Almost no time left. Hurry up and complete your tasks. It’s time to go/ it’s time to be finished.
----------------------------
The colors in Visual Timer are displayed in three ways:
- The clock - The analogue clock has colored disks that gets smaller as time goes by. First the green disk gets smaller, then yellow and finally the red one.
- Status light - To the left of the clock, a large round light is displayed with the color currently in use. The status light allows you to see the color phase you are in at the moment.
- Countdown bar - At the top of the screen, the colors and time are reproduced in the form of a horizontal bar, which also gets smaller as time goes by. Inside the indicator, the minutes left are shown with numbers.

How to use Visual Timer:
Please place Visual Timer in a central location that can be seen from a distance.
1. Set the end time for when your countdown is complete.
2. Set the amount of time each color should represent with the colored indicators at the top of the screen.
3. Tap Play to start the countdown.
