About the Progress Bar Timer

Sometimes the clearest thing is the simplest. One bar, emptying left to right, with the percentage remaining spelled out underneath — readable from the back of a hall, and unambiguous for anyone who finds a clock face hard to parse quickly.

A free progress bar timer: one giant bar that empties as your countdown runs, with the percentage remaining underneath. It turns amber at 60% and red for the last tenth.

TimerHub calculates remaining time from an absolute finish timestamp, so missed browser callbacks do not create drift. Read the timing accuracy methodology and reproducible tests.

  • Use the Fullscreen control below the timer for a room-sized countdown (Esc to exit)
  • Choose or mute the alarm sound from the sound settings in the header

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it show the exact time as well?

Yes. The percentage sits under the bar and the digital countdown under that, so a glance gives the rough picture and a closer look gives the seconds.

Can I put this on a projector or smart board?

Yes. Press Fullscreen under the timer and the drawing fills the display at whatever size the screen allows. Esc exits. For a Chromecast or AirPlay setup, cast the browser tab and then go fullscreen on the source machine.

Can I embed this timer in my own page?

Yes. Every timer here has a copy-and-paste embed code that drops a working countdown into a class blog, a lesson page or a school site, with no account and no script tag.

Does it need an account or an app?

No. It runs in the browser with no signup, no install and no ads, which is what makes it usable on a locked-down school machine.
