Worth knowing
- A visible countdown removes the need to tell anyone their time is up.
- Full screen makes it readable from the back of a room.
- Extend it with the plus button so the room sees exactly what changed.

Questions people ask
Can I show this countdown on a projector?
Yes. Press F or the full-screen button for edge-to-edge digits that stay readable from the back of a room.
Does it keep time if I switch tabs?
Yes. It reads the system clock rather than counting frames, so a background tab or a locked screen will not make it drift.
Is the countdown timer free to use?
Yes, for personal and commercial use, with no sign-up and no limit. Use it in classrooms, gyms and streams without asking.
