A distraction-free classroom timer for smartboards

Unlike typical online timers cluttered with ads or complicated settings, this classroom timer is designed specifically for shared screens, smartboards, and projectors. When you click start, the interface instantly transforms into a full-screen, immersive focus mode. Every distraction fades away, leaving only massive, high-contrast digits that every student can read—even from the back row.

Improve student focus and time management

Visual time limits are proven to help students build executive function and manage their tasks better. By displaying a giant, unambiguous countdown, you eliminate the constant 'how much time is left?' questions. Whether it's for 15 minutes of silent reading, a 30-minute exam, or a quick 5-minute cleanup transition, a reliable classroom timer keeps the entire room synchronized and accountable.

Custom labels for any class activity

A timer is most effective when students know exactly what they should be doing. Our unique label system lets you type the current activity—like 'Group Work', 'Math Quiz', or 'Q&A Session'—directly onto the screen. During the countdown, this label is displayed in huge text right below the time, reinforcing the lesson's goal without you having to say a word.

Accessible, safe, and calm

Engineered with extreme accessibility in mind, it features high-contrast modes for visually impaired students and strictly respects system motion preferences. When time is up, it uses a gentle but impossible-to-miss visual flash rather than an aggressive, anxiety-inducing alarm, creating a calmer learning environment.

Common questions

Is this timer free to use on my classroom smartboard?

Absolutely. Large Timer is completely free, requires no account creation, and has no hidden subscriptions. It is a lightweight web tool built to run instantly on any classroom projector, smartboard, or teacher's laptop.

Will it show ads to my students?

No. We believe classroom tools should be completely free of distracting or inappropriate advertisements. The interface is clean, safe, and professional.

Does the timer keep ringing if I step away from my desk?

To ensure you don't miss the end of an activity, the alarm will sound and the screen will flash when the time is up. However, to prevent disrupting the class or neighboring rooms, the audio automatically silences after 30 seconds, while the screen remains flashing until you dismiss it.

Can I save my daily routines?

Yes! Any timer you set is automatically saved to your 'My Timers' list on the device you are using. You can quickly launch your daily '10-minute cleanup' or '25-minute reading' routines with a single click every morning.
