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.

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.
