About Visual Timer

Visual Timer is a free online countdown timer that shows time as a shrinking coloured disc. We built it because visual timers help so many people, from toddlers learning routines to adults with ADHD, yet most online versions are cluttered with adverts, app upsells or features that get in the way.

What we believe

• Simple first: the timer is the first thing you see, and you can start it in one tap.
• Calm design: a black background, soft colours and gentle sounds.
• Private: no account, no tracking inside the tool, and your settings stay in your browser.
• Accessible: keyboard shortcuts, screen-reader labels and large touch targets.

Who it is for

Teachers, parents, therapists, SEN staff, students and remote workers. If you have an idea that would make the timer more useful, please use the contact form.
