Visual Timer: Countdown with a Shrinking Red Disc
Count down from 1 to 120 minutes with a coloured disc that shrinks as time passes, so children and anyone who cannot read a clock can see how much time is left; pause, reset, full screen, and a chime at the end.
Visual Timer: Countdown with a Shrinking Red Disc: The disc's size is the time left as a share of the face, which counts up to 60 minutes, or 120 for longer timers: 20 minutes is a third of the face, and it shrinks clockwise towards zero. The time keeps counting from the device clock, so it stays right even if the tab is in the background. Runs 100% locally in your browser with zero server file uploads.

The coloured disc shows the time left and shrinks as it runs, so children and anyone who cannot read a clock yet can see how much time remains at a glance. The face counts up to 60 minutes, or 120 for longer timers; a chime sounds at the end. Keep the tab open.
In class
Show it on the projector during tests, tidy-up time, or group work: pupils can see how much time is left without asking.
Focus blocks
For alternating work and break periods, the pomodoro timer switches between them automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Why use a visual timer?
Seeing time as an amount that shrinks helps young children, people with ADHD or autism, and anyone working in short blocks to understand how long is left without reading numbers.
Does it make a sound?
Yes, a chime at the end, using the sound chosen on any of the site's timers; turn it off there if you need silence.
Can I use it for more than an hour?
Yes, up to 120 minutes; the face then counts to 120.
