Mounce's Simple Countdown
Read full descriptionHide full description
A countdown timer with nothing in the way. No ads, no accounts, no clutter — just huge digits you can read from across the room. Set hours, minutes, and seconds with a tap, choose a color that fits the room, and start. The display fills the entire screen, making it perfect for classrooms, sermons, speeches, meetings, exams, workouts, or the kitchen. And when time expires, Simple Countdown does something most timers don't: the digits turn red and start counting up, so you and your audience can see exactly how far past time you've gone. FEATURES • Full-screen digits readable from the back of the room • Overtime display — hits zero, turns red, counts back up • Twelve display colors plus a custom color picker • Optional seconds — hide them for a cleaner clock • Pause and resume any time • Works completely offline, nothing to sign up for • No ads, no tracking, no data collected Designed for iPhone and iPad by Bill Mounce.
