A backward-running analog clock with focus timers and wellness breaks. Inspired by Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, who kept a clock on her wall that ran counterclockwise.
"The most dangerous phrase in the language is, 'We've always done it this way.'"
The hands move counterclockwise. The numbers are mirrored. The time is still correct.
- Backward analog clock with counterclockwise hands, mirrored face, accurate time
- Digital readout with Share Tech Mono display and date
- Focus timers — Pomodoro 25/5, Deep Work 50/10, Ultradian 90/20
- Mental health timers — breathing, grounding scan, mindful reset (with evidence citations)
- Nature break timers — light exposure, greenspace, nature walk + weekly goal tracker
- Learning timers — drill and recall, study block, project session
- Gentle audio — singing-bowl tones during timers only (no constant ticking). Eyes-closed friendly.
- Dark mode — auto-detects prefers-color-scheme, manual toggle, persists
- Resizable — slider from 160px to 460px, hands scale proportionally
- Embeddable — URL params:
?theme=dark&size=300&timer=off&sound=off - Accessible — ARIA roles, keyboard nav, screen reader, reduced motion
- Zero dependencies — single HTML file, no build step
