About Timer for Google Slides
An easy-to-use timer for Google Slides that keeps time, even when navigating from slide to slide.
Features:
- Always Visible: The timer stays on top, even when you're in full-screen presentation mode.
- Slide Independent: Time will keep running, even if you switch slides.
- Completely Movable: Drag and drop the timer anywhere on your screen to fit your slide layout.
- Flexible Modes: Use the full timer with controls, or switch to a minimal mode that only shows the time (resizable).
- Quick Presets: Instantly set common classroom times (1m, 5m, 15m, etc.).
- Silence preferred? Mute the alarm sound.
Beware of copycats!
Someone has copied my timer's code and is offering it under a nearly identical name. Unlike my application, it will request full access to your Google documents. Careful who you trust with your data!
How to use this plugin:
1. Install the Chrome browser plugin via the official web store
2. Open a presentation via Google Slides
3. Click on the plugin
4. Start a timer
5. Enter Slideshow mode

What's New in v3.0 - A Complete UI Overhaul!
This version introduces a complete redesign of the timer, focusing on a cleaner, more intuitive, and professional experience for your presentations.
1) Detached Controls Drawer: The timer settings are now housed in a separate controls drawer that slides up neatly from below the main timer. This keeps your screen clutter-free while the timer is running.
2) Collapsible Controls: A new chevron icon allows you to show or hide the controls drawer on demand, giving you quick access to settings without interrupting your flow.
3) Fixed Aspect Ratio Window: The timer window now resizes with a fixed aspect ratio, just like a widescreen display. This ensures the timer always looks polished and never stretched or distorted, no matter the size.
4) Visual Alarm: In addition to the audio beeps, the timer window now gently pulses red when the time is up, providing a clear and unmissable visual cue.
5) Refined Interactions: I've polished the user experience by fixing several small but important bugs. When time is running, you can now click the time display to both pause and resume etc.
