Time Sprout
A countdown timer for the classroom. A small sprout grows with every second and blooms when time is up. Hide the numbers so the whole class can read or work quietly without watching the clock.
In the classroom
Hide the numbers for quiet work
Switch off Show numbers and students only see the plant growing. With no digits jumping every second, the class stays calmer and more focused. When time is up, the plant blooms and a soft chime plays.
Made for the projector
Press Fullscreen or the F key. The numbers are big enough to read from the back row. The controls fade away when the mouse is still and return the moment you move it.
Always in step with the real time
Switch to your slides or another window whenever you like. When you come back, the timer shows the true time left, even if the computer just woke from sleep.
Add or remove time on the fly
Students need a little longer? Tap +1 min without stopping the clock. Tap Reset to go back to the original time.
