How VibeCraft Timer Works
- Set the duration. Pick how long you want to meditate, nap or focus.
- Set the vibration. Tap Set Vibration and choose the intensity that feels right on your wrist.
- Test it. Run the 3-second test timer to preview the haptic before you commit.
- Start and relax. When time is up, your Apple Watch vibrates silently. No sound, no disturbing anyone.
Why Choose a Vibration Timer on Apple Watch
- Silent by design: haptic feedback only, so the alarm never disturbs a quiet room, a sleeping partner or a meeting.
- Adjustable intensity: from a barely-there tap to a firm buzz.
- Test mode: preview the vibration in 3 seconds before starting a long session.
- Adjust mid-session: change settings during an active countdown.
- Standalone: runs entirely on the watch, no iPhone nearby required.
- Smooth Mode (Premium): a one-time US$0.99 upgrade makes the vibration ramp up gradually, perfect for waking from a nap gently.
- Private and free: no data collection, no ads, no subscription.
Who Is VibeCraft Timer For?
- Meditators who want to be eased out of a session rather than jolted by a bell.
- Power nappers who need a wake-up cue that will not wake anyone else.
- Focus and Pomodoro workers in offices, libraries or shared spaces.
- Anyone who prefers haptic cues over sound, including noisy environments where an alarm would go unheard.
