Free Online Timer for Presentations, Classrooms & Streams

A clean, customisable countdown timer that works anywhere — project it fullscreen in a classroom, embed it as an OBS browser source overlay, or share a pre-configured link with a single URL.

Built for every countdown

Classrooms

Project a large, visible countdown on a smartboard or projector. Add custom text like "Clean Up Time" or "Exam Starts In". No account needed — works on any school Chromebook or browser.

A timer you can put in front of people

EasyTimer is built for moments where the countdown is shared: a workshop break on a projector, a classroom transition on a smartboard, a livestream starting soon scene, a meeting agenda on a second display, or a simple focus session you want to keep visible. The timer stays clean on screen because the controls, colours, fonts, sounds, and share link are designed around the countdown itself.

Start with any duration, then adjust the display until it fits the room. Choose a large font for distance viewing, add a short label above or below the digits, use fullscreen mode for projectors, or switch on a transparent background when the timer needs to sit over a stream layout. Every setting lives in the URL, so a prepared timer can be bookmarked, sent to someone else, or pasted into another tool without creating an account.

The homepage timer is the flexible default. Use the dedicated pages when the situation has a clearer workflow: Pomodoro for focus and breaks, OBS setup for streaming overlays, Meeting for agenda timing, and the duration pages when you just need a fast preset.

How to choose the right timer

For a single visible countdown

Use the homepage timer when you want one clear timer with custom styling. It works well for workshops, breaks, cooking, stage holds, classroom transitions, or any moment where people only need to see time remaining.

For repeatable focus sessions

Use Pomodoro mode when the timer should automatically move between focus periods and breaks. The default 25/5 rhythm is ready to go, and the settings let you tune focus, short break, long break, and interval counts.

For streaming and overlays

Use the OBS setup page when the timer belongs inside a livestream scene. Transparent background mode, URL-based settings, and browser-source instructions make it practical for countdown overlays without extra software.

For agenda-based facilitation

Use the meeting timer when one countdown is not enough. Build the agenda, run each item in order, and keep a useful report of what happened. It is a better fit for standups, workshops, and sessions with multiple speakers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is EasyTimer.app free?

Yes, EasyTimer.app is completely free. No signup, no ads, no premium tier. Built and maintained as a solo project.

Does EasyTimer.app work as an OBS browser source?

Yes. Enable Transparent Background in settings, paste the URL into your OBS Browser Source, and add the provided Custom CSS for guaranteed transparency. Step-by-step instructions: /obs.

Can I share or bookmark my timer settings?

Yes. Every setting (duration, font, colour, background, position) is encoded in the URL. Share the URL or bookmark it to keep your exact configuration.

Does EasyTimer.app work offline?

Yes. EasyTimer.app registers a service worker on first visit, so once loaded the timer runs entirely in your browser without an internet connection.

Is there a Pomodoro mode?

Yes. The /pomodoro route automatically alternates focus sessions and breaks (default 25/5/15 — 25-min focus, 5-min short break, 15-min long break after every 4 focus sessions). All durations are customisable in settings.

Can I use EasyTimer for meetings?

Yes. The /meeting timer lets you build a timed agenda, run through each segment, and keep a simple meeting report. Use the homepage timer for one countdown, or use /meeting when each agenda item needs its own time box.

Does EasyTimer use analytics cookies?
