    About the Classroom Timer

    A single countdown timer designed for classroom use. Set a duration using presets or custom input, start the timer, and display it on a projector or screen. When time is up, an optional audio alert sounds. There are no Pomodoro cycles or break intervals — just a clean, simple countdown.

    Choose a preset (5 min Quiz, 10 min Test, 25 min Activity) or enter a custom duration. Press Start to begin the countdown. The large display is designed to be visible from the back of a classroom or on a projected screen.
