Control from another device

Free Remote Countdown Timer

Use a remote countdown timer for stages, classrooms, meeting rooms, livestreams, gym displays, and shared screens. Start with a visible countdown, then create an XTimer room when one device should control another display.

Built for this job

One person can control timing without touching the display device.

Shared screens can stay clean while the controller keeps all controls nearby.

XTimer rooms turn the countdown into a controller-and-viewer workflow.

Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use a separate controller device when the display is mounted, projected, or screen-shared.

Test the viewer link before the live session starts.

Keep the viewer display simple when the audience or participants will see it.

Use XTimer rooms whenever remote control matters more than a single-browser timer.

What is a remote countdown timer?

Where is a remote timer useful?

Remote timers are useful for stages, classrooms, meeting rooms, gyms, livestreams, webinars, and any setup where the timer display is away from the operator.
