Airplane Timer

This airplane timer pairs a countdown with an illustrated plane over ocean waves for people timing activities or short waits. The loop is smooth and breezy. The illustration uses a fixed hand-drawn palette, so it looks its best on the page's own dark background.

What is an airplane timer used for?

  • ✓A travel-themed waiting screen for classrooms and trips
  • ✓Focus or study breaks with a sense of motion
  • ✓Countdowns for boarding, departures, and travel days
  • ✓A relaxed countdown for streams and video calls
  • ✓Adding a little wanderlust to any short wait

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose a countdown length

    Set a duration for a classroom activity, travel-preparation task, or short break. The illustrated plane and ocean scene appear above the running countdown.

  2. 2

    Show the countdown

    Start the timer and place the page on a shared display when a group needs to see the remaining time. Use fullscreen for a larger view; the scene artwork uses a fixed palette.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the colors of the scene?

No — the illustration uses a fixed hand-drawn palette so it always looks consistent. You can still change the timer digit color in settings to keep the numbers readable against the scene.

Does the animation distract from the timer?

It loops smoothly above the digits, so the countdown stays the clear focal point.

Does it respect reduced-motion settings?

If your device requests reduced motion, EasyTimer.app pauses the animation and shows a still frame, so the plane no longer moves.

Why is this on its own page instead of in the background settings?

The animation uses a separate animation library (Lottie) that we keep off the homepage for fast load times. Its own route means visitors who do not want it never download it.
