FAQ
Can this be projected on a classroom screen?
Yes — the large digit display and progress bar are designed to be readable from across a room when projected or shown on a smart board.
Can I set custom durations?
Yes — set any duration for the activity you're timing, from a quick quiz to a longer group project.
Does it make a sound when time is up?
The visual countdown reaching zero is the primary cue — pair it with your own classroom signal if you want an audible alert too.
