Visual Timer

SEE TIME. DON'T JUST READ IT.

Digital numbers mean very little when you live with time blindness. Visual Timer turns abstract minutes into a colored disk that slowly melts away — so students, adults with ADHD, and whole classrooms can FEEL time passing instead of being ambushed by it.

I'm a teacher with 14 years of classroom experience. I built this visual timer because every countdown app I tried either buried the timer under ads, demanded a subscription, or startled my students with harsh alarms. This one does none of those things. No subscription. Ever.

WHY A VISUAL TIMER WORKS
A visual countdown shows remaining time as a shrinking disk — green when there's plenty, amber when it's getting close, red at the end. Your brain registers the shape at a glance, with zero mental math. That's why visual timers are recommended by teachers, occupational therapists, and ADHD coaches for time blindness, transitions, and task initiation.

BUILT FOR REAL CLASSROOMS
• Full-screen countdown timer — project it and the whole class stays on track
• One-tap presets: 5, 10, 15, 25 minutes, plus any custom duration
• The +1 minute button — extend without resetting (teachers asked, we listened)
• Silent mode: visual-only finish for exams and quiet work
• Screen stays awake while the timer runs — no unlocking mid-lesson
• Tablet and landscape layouts made for projection

CALM BY DESIGN — ADHD & AUTISM FRIENDLY
• Gentle, soft-attack end sounds — no startling alarms, ever
• Low-stimulation and high-contrast themes (Pro)
• Color-blind friendly pattern mode
• Optional soft tick for the final seconds
• Works 100% offline. No account. No sign-up.

FOCUS & POMODORO
Use the 25-minute preset as a pomodoro focus timer for study sessions, homework, deep work, or chores. Chain work and break routines automatically with Pro.

PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER
• Routines: "Reading 20 → Break 5 → Quiz 15" with automatic transitions
• 6+ themes: pastel classroom, night, ocean, forest, high contrast, low stimulation
• Extra end sounds + record your own voice ("Time's up, everyone!")
• Removes ads completely

We show a single small ad only on the summary screen after a timer ends — never on the timer itself. Pro removes even that.

WHO USES VISUAL TIMER
• Teachers timing activities, centers, and transitions
• Adults with ADHD fighting time blindness at work and home
