57 minute timer
A 57 minute countdown timer for the projector: big digits, a quiet chime, warning colours and full screen. Good for tests, project time and class periods.
57:00
Keys: Space start or pause · R reset · ← → 30 seconds · 1–8 the presets · M sound · F full screen
How to use it
- The timer is already set to 57 minutes. Press Start, or tap the Space bar.
- Press F to fill the screen. The buttons fade away until you move the mouse; press Esc to come back.
- Add or take off 30 seconds with the arrow keys. If you need a different length, press a preset or choose Custom.
Ideas for class
- Hold a long reading and response session, pausing at the half to stretch.
- Set a presentation round: each group has its share of the time and the clock shows whose turn it is.
- Run a department or staff meeting with a visible clock so everyone knows when it ends.
- Run project time with a check at the halfway point and a clean-up reserved at the end.
- Split 57 minutes into 40 to work and 17 to share: press Start, and pause at 40:00 elapsed to switch.
- The halfway mark is 28:30: when the digits reach it, ask students to hold up fingers for how far through the task they are.
- Divide it into 3 rotations of 19 minutes: call "switch" each time the digits show a multiple of 19.

Questions
Is a 57 minute timer good for a test?
It works well as a visible clock for a test or a long task. Set it to 57 minutes, press Start, and use full screen with the Quiet style if you do not want colours changing or a sound at the end. You can also pause it if the class is interrupted, and press Resume to continue from the same time.
How do I change the 57 minute timer?
Press a preset button or choose Custom and type a length such as 7:30 or 90s. The page address updates to carry the new length, so you can bookmark it or share it. This page always opens at 57 minutes.
Will the 57 minute timer keep the right time if the tab is in the background?
Yes. The countdown compares the clock when you pressed Start with the clock now, so it stays right when a tab sleeps. When it reaches zero it plays a short, soft chime (press M to turn the sound off) and the page title in the tab says the time is up.
