Visual Countdown Timer

A distraction-free 60-minute visual timer.
Click any tick to start a countdown from that minute mark; a red sector shrinks as time passes, and each minute boundary briefly flashes its tick to signal progress.
Minute labels can be hidden (Cmd/Ctrl + H) to maximize dial space.
Window presets (Cmd/Ctrl + 15) resize the app for quick context switches.
