Visual timer for teachers
Free Online Classroom Timer
Project a calm visual countdown for classroom activities, transitions, reading blocks, cleanup, quizzes, and student work time. Use teacher-friendly presets, a large progress display, and a direct path into XTimer rooms when a classroom timer needs shared screens or remote control.
Built for this job
Students can see how much class time remains without asking the teacher.
Transitions become easier because the countdown is visible, calm, and shared.
Teachers can move from a classroom display to a controlled XTimer room when more screens are needed.

Need a controller link, viewer display, or shared room?
Keep this simple timer for quick work. Move into an XTimer room when one person controls the clock and another screen shows it to a speaker, team, class, or audience.
Presets that match real work
Start from a timer people already understand.
Each preset has a clear use case, duration, and workflow. That makes the page useful for search visitors immediately, and gives professional users a natural path into XTimer rooms when they need separate controller and viewer devices.

Keep the timer projected but distraction-light during reading or quiet work.
Use consistent preset lengths so students learn what each classroom routine feels like.
