StickGo
StickGo is a timer app that lets you create, edit, and combine timers in a way that pays homage to the act of sticking and peeling stickers. Whether you need a quick reminder or a long countdown, StickGo leverages standard iOS touchscreen gestures and interactions within the app to marry familiarity with intuition. The ever-expanding modular grid is juxtaposed with the vivid fading gradients of the stickers, a visual cue that refers to the passage of time.
