Free Whiteboard Session Timer
Use a whiteboard session timer for framing, sketching, discussion, critique, decisions, and action capture. Create an XTimer room when a facilitator controls the clock and a shared whiteboard display needs visible timing.
Built for this job
Whiteboard sessions move from exploration to decision instead of staying open-ended.
Participants can see when to sketch, explain, debate, and capture actions.
XTimer rooms support shared whiteboard timers for hybrid workshops and design sessions.

Use this setup in XTimer
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.
