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.

Frequently asked questions
What is an OSCE timer?
An OSCE timer helps manage station-based clinical exams with reading time, station time, warnings, changeovers, examiner notes, and circuit practice.
Can I add reading time before each station?
Yes. Start from the OSCE station preset and adjust the reading, station, warning, and changeover segments.
Can this work for group OSCE practice?
Yes. Use an XTimer controlled room when one facilitator should control timing for candidates, examiners, or a shared display.
