But there’s hope for us visual simpletons, and the purveyor of that hope is [Edris] of Ponderly Robotics. You see, [Edris] created an extremely easy-to-use timer that looks like something you’d find on Captain Picard’s desk as a token of defeating the Borg. [Edris] uses the open-source FlipBuddy every day, and swears by its simplicity. FlipBuddy wakes up, connects to WiFi, and then pushes your session to the cloud, bypassing the need for your phone. Part of the point of FlipBuddy is that it can become as intuitive as punching a chess clock.
