    Less watching, more reading

    This reading timer gives you 20 minutes to read and 2 minutes to capture a thought on paper or in your own notes. Seconds, completion sound and scenery animation start turned off. Change the reading interval to fit the text, without changing the two-stage structure.

    These are the default steps in this template. Changes you make in the timer affect your own setup. Moves to the next step automatically. Pauses and added time can extend the session.

    The seconds and completion sound are off in this setup.

    Use the notes stage for a sentence, a page reference, or a question. TimerGlow does not collect or store reading notes.
