30 minute visual timer

Press Start and the grey disc turns blue, then shrinks clockwise toward zero at the top. The digits say how long is left; the disc shows how much, so you can tell from across a room without reading anything. Space starts and pauses, R resets and F fills the screen.

The face is fixed, like a clock’s: 25 minutes is always the same slice of an hour, so lengths can be compared at a glance. Anything over an hour uses a two-hour face. The idea comes from the Time Timer, made in 1994 by a mother whose daughter, who has ADHD, could not tell how long “ten more minutes” was from digits alone.

Nothing is saved and nothing is sent. Close the tab and it is gone.

Add these to the end of the address, after the length:

• ?start=1 starts it as the page opens.
• ?label=Reading shows what the time is for, above the disc.
• ?obs=1 shows the disc and digits alone on a clear background, for a browser source in OBS or other streaming software.

The focus timer uses the same disc, and also notes each time your attention wanders, so you can see your focus grow from one week to the next. No sign-up for that either. The guide explains how it works and why.
