About Visual Timer
See time, don't just read it.
Visual Timer puts a classic visual countdown — a colored disk that melts away as time passes — right in your browser's side panel, so it stays in view while you work.
SET IT IN SECONDS
• Spin the dial with your mouse to set 1–60 minutes, like a physical kitchen timer
• Or use one-click presets: 5, 10, 15, 25, 45, 60 minutes
• Or click the time and type anything: "90" for 90 minutes, "12:30", or "1:30:00" — up to 12 hours
WATCH IT MELT
The remaining time is a coral wedge on a 60-minute face. As the timer runs, the color drains away — you can feel how much time is left from across the room, without reading a single digit. Prefer a dial that always starts full and empties over your whole duration? Turn on Proportional mode in settings.
STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY
• Lives in Chrome's side panel — one click on the toolbar icon opens it, and it stays put while you browse
• Keeps running when the panel is closed; the toolbar badge counts down the minutes
• When time's up: a gentle two-note chime and a system notification
A TINY TASK LIST, TOO
Jot down what the timer is for. Check tasks off as the color drains — done items sink to the bottom, and one click sweeps them away. Tasks are saved between sessions.
MADE TO BE LOOKED AT
A carefully crafted interface with a soft glow, smooth animation, and full light and dark themes (follow your system, or pick one in settings). Toggle the sound, notification, and badge to taste.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No tracking. No network requests. Everything stays on your device.
Keyboard: press Space to start or pause while the panel is open.
