Visual Timer
Why a visual timer helps
Young children and many autistic or ADHD people find it easier to follow time they can see. A shrinking disc turns an abstract number into a shape: half the colour means half the time is gone. It helps with transitions, turn-taking and getting started on tasks.
Set any time up to 60 minutes, pick a colour, and choose whether to show the digits too.
At home and in class
Use it for screen time, tidy-up time, brushing teeth, homework blocks or quiet reading. In class, open it in fullscreen on the board. The alarm is soft by default and the screen can flash instead of making a sound.
Questions
Is this like a Time Timer?
It works the same way, with a disc of colour that disappears as time passes, but it runs free in your browser.
Can I turn the sound off?
Yes. Choose a silent alarm and the screen flashes when time is up.
Does it respect reduced motion settings?
Yes. With reduced motion on, the disc updates without animation.
