Public Meeting Timer

macOS ยท App Store

A full-screen countdown timer for public speakers. I built it for town council meetings, so people at the podium could see how much of their time was left - it works just as well for Toastmasters time-keeping, or anywhere else speakers need to stay on track.

What it does

  • Allows setting the duration of the countdown (and saves default between launches)
  • Runs full-screen by default, but can be windowed and re-sizes to any window size
  • Prominent, clean display of remaining time
  • Turns orange with 1/4 time remaining and red with 1/8 remaining
  • Easily shareable using Zoom or Facetime screen share
  • Keyboard shortcuts: Return or Space to start/stop; ESC or delete to reset
  • No noises or audible alarms to annoy or interrupt speakers as they wrap up
