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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a workshop timer?
A workshop timer is an agenda-based timer that helps facilitators manage activities such as framing, individual work, breakout discussion, sharing, breaks, and decisions.
Can I change the workshop agenda?
Yes. Each segment can be renamed, shortened, extended, added, or removed before the timer starts.
What timer works best for a retrospective?
A segmented timer works well because retrospectives usually move through fixed stages such as setting context, gathering data, generating insights, deciding actions, and closing.
