Countdown timer

A calm, clear timer for breaks, group work and timed activities. Pick a length, press start, and show it full screen for the room.

 5:00Paused

Press the space bar to start or pause.

Length

Minutes, or minutes:seconds. Up to 99:59.

How to use the countdown timer

  1. Pick a length: 1, 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes. For anything else, type it in, like 7 or 2:30, and press Set.
  2. Add a label if it helps, like "Break" or "Group work", so everyone knows what the time is for.
  3. Press Start, or the space bar. Press it again to pause. +1 min adds a minute when a group needs a bit longer.
  4. Press Present to fill the screen with big digits, then share that screen in your call or put it on the projector.

Nothing is saved or sent anywhere. The timer runs in this browser tab.

Good for

Breaks in a meeting or workshop. Put a 10 minute break timer on screen so people come back on time without you chasing them. Classroom activities. Give a group 5 minutes for a task and let the timer, not you, call time. Timeboxed agenda items. Keep a standup update or a discussion to its slot.

Use it live, in Claryoo

When you run a session with Claryoo, breaks are built in. Pause the session and everyone's phone shows "On a break", with the time you'll be back. See how that works for in-person sessions.

While the clock runs, you can ask the room something too: a quick live poll for what to cover next, or pick a volunteer to report back when group work ends. For a ready-made plan with breaks already in it, start from one of our session templates.

FAQ

Common questions.

Yes. The timer works from the time it should end, not by counting seconds, so it stays right when the tab is in the background or you share another window. The tab's title shows the time left, so you can glance at it from anywhere.
