StepTimer - A tiny walking timer that makes focus breaks hard to ignore

StepTimer is a palm-sized desk timer that physically walks when time is up. Instead of adding another notification to your screen, it brings the reminder into the real world. Set the dial, start a focus session, and let your little desk companion handle the break reminder.
