Five minutes is long enough for a quick break, a lightning talk, or the last leg of a board game turn — and short enough that everyone actually watches it end. Press start, then send the link to anyone else who needs to see the same five minutes tick down.

Common questions
- Accurate to about a second. Each device counts down independently against the same shared deadline using its own clock, so there's no server lag to introduce drift between screens.
- Yes — any number of people can open the same link at the same time. There's no viewer limit, because nothing is streamed to them; each device just does its own math against the timestamp in the URL.
- Yes. Reopening the link re-reads the same deadline from the URL and picks up exactly where the countdown should be — nothing resets.
