About EmailTimer.App

I am Danish Mohammed. I write EmailTimer.App and I run it. The first commit in this repository is dated 24 August 2026. You can find me on GitHub and on LinkedIn.

Why I built it

Two things about this category bothered me enough to build a competitor.

The first is caching. Apple Mail pre-fetches images at about the time a message is delivered, and testing reports it holds the copy for two to three days, so a timer reflects the state at delivery rather than the state at the open. Gmail's proxy caches per recipient per URL, for a lifetime Google does not publish, so the first open is accurate and a re-open can be served from the cached copy. Outlook on Windows renders only the first frame of a GIF, so frame one has to be a correct image on its own. Every vendor in this category lives with all three. Almost none of them say so on the page where you get out your card. The editor here shows you what each client will render before you send, and the email client pages explain the trade-off per client rather than burying it.

The second is that countdown timers and personalized images were sold as two subscriptions. A marketer who wants a flash sale clock and the subscriber's first name and a voucher code in the same picture was paying twice for one idea.

What it is

One render engine. The image is rendered when the inbox fetches it: an animated GIF countdown, a PNG with merge values baked into the pixels, or both in one image. Eight timer families, 47 gallery designs in three sizes each, unit labels in 44 languages, and a ready-made snippet for every platform in the integration directory.

The editor preview calls the same renderer that serves the inbox, so what you approve is what gets sent.

Who runs it

One person, with consequences in both directions that you should know before you buy. The person who answers your mail wrote the code, so a question about why a GIF holds its last frame or how a cache key is built gets an answer rather than a ticket number. The product carries several thousand unit tests and an end-to-end suite that drives a real browser against real services, because a suite is the only reviewer I have. And there is no second person, so support runs on one business day rather than on a four-hour clock I cannot staff overnight.

How support works

Write to support@emailtimer.app. You get a reply within one business day, from me. Replying to any mail the product sends you reaches the same place. Privacy and data protection questions go to privacy@emailtimer.app.

What this is not

There is no SOC 2 report and no ISO 27001 certificate. That audit is not something I can honestly claim at this size, so the security page lists what the product actually does instead, in enough detail to be checked.

There is no sales team and there are no sales calls. Every price is published on the pricing page in dollars and rupees.

There are no enterprise contracts yet: no negotiated master agreement, no signed uptime credit. If your company requires those, it requires a bigger vendor than this one today, and I would rather say so now than waste a month of your time.

There is no phone line.
