With Tameno, you set auto-repeating, “tapping” timers – the perfect companion for repetitive tasks.
It’s available for your Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV as a universal binary – always ready, wherever you might need it.
Set up an interval between 2 seconds and 20 minutes, and Tameno lets you know each time it elapses (by tapping you, by sound, or by screen flashing), and then re-sets itself to alert you again.

Part V – Tameno on Your Apple TV
Tameno on your Apple TV can help you doing stretches, mediate, practice yoga, and more.
Let’s take a look at how it works.
Table of Contents
Starting Your First Interval
Starting your first interval is as easy as launching the app and selecting Start Tapping.
Note: You can also use the play/pause button on your Apple TV’s remote to start and stop Tameno.
Changing the Interval
Use the + and – buttons at the sides to increase and decrease your interval.
Use single clicks on your remote to change it by seconds, click-and-hold to change it by minutes.
Accessing Recently Used Intervals
At the top left, select the back-in-time button to access your recently used intervals.
Settings
At the top right, select the gear button to access Tameno’s settings.
Count to Zero
When enabled, instead of counting a 5 second interval down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (etc), Tameno counts it down as 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 (etc).
Audio Feedback
If selected, Tameno plays a “Tick” sound every time your interval elapses.
Visual Feedback
Flashes your screen in the color of your choice with every elapsing interval.
For a video of this, please see “Starting Your First Interval“.
That’s a Wrap
That’s all there is to Tameno. It’s a simple app that lets you use auto-repeating timers so you don’t have to count down in your head anymore, freeing your mind for more important things. I hope you like it!

Tameno is a universal one-time purchase on the App Stores, so a single purchase allows you to use the app on your Apple Watches, iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TVs.
