How It Works

Pick a time
Tap a preset (1–20 minutes) or type a custom time, and give it a label like "Silent reading" so the class knows what it's for.
Start the countdown
Press Start and the ring empties as the minutes tick down — a clear visual cue students can read at a glance.
Project it full-screen
Hit fullscreen to fill the projector or smartboard. A friendly chime and a "Time's up!" flash signal the end.
