Classroom timer
Free with a teacher account. A big countdown for the projector with a bell at zero. Press a preset or type a time. This is the Timer from OpenEduCat Board, where it sits next to everything else you use in a lesson.
OpenEduCat Board puts this timer on one page with a name picker, groups and a sound meter, for the projector.
Free account. Sign in once on each device; the board then works offline. The timer you set here travels with you.

Questions
Does it keep counting if the laptop sleeps?
Yes. The end time is fixed when you press Start, so the display is right when the screen wakes.
Does it need internet?
Only to sign in once on each device. After that the timer on OpenEduCat Board and its bell sounds work offline; this page needs a connection.
Can I control it from my phone?
Not yet. The phone remote is planned for Teacher Plus. The timer itself never needs it.
Where is my data?
This page keeps your timer in this tab and saves nothing. Open it on the board and it is saved with your screen in your account.
Running a whole school? OpenEduCat for schools keeps it on one platform.
