Why a visual timer?

Time-blind brains don't feel minutes passing — but they can see a shrinking wedge. This timer turns elapsed time into something glanceable:

• Big visual countdown — the whole screen works as a progress display, readable from across the room.
• Zero friction — open the page and start. No signup, no configuration wizard, no cookie banners.
• Kid-friendly — teachers and parents use it for classrooms, homework blocks, and transitions.

Features

• Preset durations plus custom minute input
• Start / pause / reset with keyboard-accessible controls (ARIA-labelled)
• Last-used duration remembered in localStorage only
• Mobile-responsive, works offline once loaded

Run it

# any static server works
python3 -m http.server 8000
# open http://localhost:8000

Or just double-click index.html.

Deploy your own

It's one file. Drop it on GitHub Pages, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or any web server. Done.
