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.

Use clear transition segments so people have time to move or switch rooms.
Reserve follow-up time so contacts are not lost after the final round.
Use XTimer rooms when hosts need to control a shared event display.
