Love this: Wonderful visual timer I use this in my classroom. Its great for the students to monitor their progress towards the end of a project and prepare themselves for transitions. I love that i can set any amount of time and I love the colors. The kids are fascinated by the sand dropping and i have to remind them to do their work, not watch the timer. :-D Currently I use it on my phone then project it on the document camera. It would be wonderful if this could be turned into a chrome app or extension. Generalizing an accommodation like a visual timer for special needs student (Autism, traumatic brain injury, ADD, etc) where the whole class uses it helps to include special needs students in an invisible way. All kids benefit and it is not pointed out that special needs kids need the accommodation more particularly. Thank you so much!

Thank you very much for this excellent timer. Could not be easier to set any time. The 5 second countdown is ideal. I've searched a number of timers. This is definitely the best timer I have found............. Could we please have an option to allow us to stop the timer from continuing running after the buzzer. I use this in a magic routine & cannot press RESET in front of the spectator. It would be nice to have an option that will leave the timer at ZERO once the buzzer sound has finished.

This sand timer is neat. I like everything about it. My main suggestion, though, would be to add an animation that shows the hourglass being flipped upon tapping the reset button. I like the different-colored sands and the preset times. The 2-minute timer would be extremely useful for Tenzi. One of the cards involves setting a timer for 2 minutes and seeing how many Tenzis players can achieve in those 2 minutes. I also like that it runs in the background. Great job, Keuwlsoft
