Remote-controlled Shared Timer

Create a Stage Timer for Multiple Devices

Create one online countdown and share it with other people using a viewer link. The shared timer can stay open on multiple devices while you control the countdown from a separate controller page.

Start, pause, resume, reset, or add time from the controller. Open viewer pages stay synchronized with the shared timer, making it useful for classrooms, meetings, presentations, study groups, workshops, and other activities where everyone needs to follow the same countdown.
