Make time for yourself
Project the countdown onto the board or a large screen so the class can see exactly how long is left. The page starts at ten minutes, and you can switch to any length in a few clicks.
Open this page on the computer connected to your projector or display. Choose a duration, then press the fullscreen button so the numbers fill the screen. Turn on Keep screen on so the display does not dim mid-activity, where your browser supports it. Press Start when the class is ready. Check that the projector shows the whole screen before the lesson begins.
One or two minutes for a pair discussion or a tidy-up. Five minutes for a starter or a quick quiz. Ten to fifteen minutes for group work or silent reading. Twenty-five to forty-five minutes for a test section or an extended task. The same countdown works for a timed reading break or a quiet end-of-day reflection. Custom accepts any whole number of minutes from 1 to 180, and you can set focus and break lengths so a test section and the rest after it each have their own countdown.
Choose Still scene to stop background movement if it distracts anyone, and switch between dark and light themes to suit the lighting in your room. The optional completion chime is gentle rather than alarming. Sound is off until you choose it; soft rain or noise during independent work is there if your class likes it.
No. When the countdown ends it waits. Breaks and further phases only start when you press Start, so you stay in charge of the lesson.
Yes, it keeps correct time in the background. Students will only see it while it is on the shared screen, so keep the browser window on the projector or use a second display.
Yes. Pause holds the remaining time and Resume carries on from where you stopped.
No. There is no account or sign-up. Preferences are saved in that browser only.
