In plain words

Zen Timer is a Mac application that visualizes time passage through an animated tree drawn with Bézier curves. As you work or meditate, the tree grows and evolves on screen, providing a visual representation of your session duration. The app combines productivity timing with calming aesthetics, making it suitable for anyone seeking a more visually engaging alternative to traditional countdown timers.
