Staying on task gets a lot easier when starting a timer takes one second. The clip doing the rounds on Reddit shows a little black cube with a bright, colourful countdown ring: flip it onto a side and the countdown starts straight away, no buttons and no phone needed. Turn it back and it becomes a smart desk clock showing the time, day and date.
What Makes It Stand Out
This Amazon UK listing is the Ticktime TK3 Pomodoro Timer Cube, the same black cube with the colourful LED ring you can see in the video. Its built-in gyroscope means you simply flip it to 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes and the countdown begins automatically. There is a true pomodoro mode with 25-minute focus and 5-minute break presets that runs four cycles on its own, plus a custom countdown from 1 second to 99 minutes 59 seconds and a count-up stopwatch. On its base it looks like a mini retro TV on your desk. In stock and dispatched by Amazon at the time of posting.

Good To Know
It doubles as a desk clock with a large LED screen and can hold up to three daily alarms for wake-up time, meals or bedtime. The built-in 1400mAh battery lasts up to 10 days and recharges by USB-C, either directly or by standing the cube on its base, and it keeps working while it charges. Easy enough for kids, adults and seniors alike, and a fun, useful gift for students, home workers and anyone who loves a tidy desk.
