ShadowTimer

ShadowTimer – A Torch Burns. Time Dies.

ShadowTimer is a dark, atmospheric torch timer built for tabletop role-playing games where time matters — and light is life.

Inspired by Shadowdark RPG and classic old-school dungeon crawling, ShadowTimer replaces abstract turn tracking with a living, burning torch. As the flame fades, tension rises. When it dies, consequences follow.

No accounts.
No cloud sync.
No distractions.

Just fire, time, and pressure.
