Time Timer

What is Time Timer?

Time Timer 8″ is a simple yet powerful visual timer designed to show the passage of time through a bright red disk that gradually disappears. With a clean, durable design and an easy-to-read face, it’s perfect for classrooms, workspaces, or at home. This original 60-minute model helps users of all ages stay on task, manage transitions, and develop time awareness without the need to interpret numbers on a clock.

How does it work?

To use the Time Timer, turn the center knob to set the duration—up to 60 minutes. As time counts down, the red disk fades away, giving a clear visual cue of how much time remains. A gentle, optional beep signals when time is up. The timer runs silently otherwise, creating a calm, distraction-free environment. Its size and simplicity make it ideal for group settings, personal routines, or therapeutic use.

Why is Time Timer helpful for attention?

Time Timer provides immediate, intuitive feedback—making it easier to stay focused without repeatedly checking a clock. The disappearing disk creates a visual sense of urgency that helps the brain process time more effectively. For those with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, or anxiety around time, this visual approach supports smoother transitions and reduces the mental load of self-monitoring. It’s also a powerful tool for focus sprints like Pomodoro, meetings, and solo work sessions.
