Write notes, group themes, vote, and decide

Free Sticky Note Timer

Use a sticky note timer for writing ideas, grouping themes, labeling clusters, voting, and selecting next actions. Create an XTimer room when workshop participants need the same visible countdown across a wall, projector, or digital board.

Built for this job

Participants know when to write quietly and when to move into grouping.

Facilitators can prevent theme clustering from consuming the full workshop.

XTimer rooms support shared sticky note activity timers for in-person and digital boards.
