A candle live wallpaper that burns down as time passes. A calm, cozy timer.
Vigil puts a burning candle on your home screen. Light it, choose how long it should last, and it slowly burns down behind your apps, hour by hour, until it goes out.
It is a live wallpaper, a gentle timer and a small evening ritual in one. Glance at your phone and you can see how much of the evening is left by how tall the candle still is.
A CANDLE THAT REALLY BURNS
• The flame flickers, leans and breathes
• Wax pools around the wick and drips run down the sides
• It gets shorter as time passes, then goes out with a thin curl of smoke
• Strike a match to light a fresh one, the way you would a real candle
SET HOW LONG IT BURNS
Drag the candle up or down to set its length, from a quarter of an hour to a whole night. Use it as a calm timer for reading, studying, focus sessions, meditation, prayer, a bath or winding down before sleep. No ticking, no countdown numbers, just a candle getting smaller.
MAKE IT YOURS
• Five wax colours: ivory, beeswax, honey, wine and slate
• A wooden table with warm candlelight on the wall
• A home screen widget to light the candle with one tap
