The person using a timer should be able to choose whether to see it, hear an alarm, pause or stop. A visual countdown alone cannot establish safety or provide trauma treatment.

A practical way to use the display

For a routine activity, explain what the selected duration means before starting. Offer a silent ending and an alternative without a countdown. Use the tool only as a shared time reference when the person wants it.

Open the timer

Use the free visual timer to set minutes and seconds, pause or stop, and choose the display and alarm settings. Keep the tab open and the device awake while timing.
