Workshop Timer — One Countdown For Every Table
Facilitators running breakout groups or table exercises know the problem: one group finishes early, another runs long, because everyone's eyeballing their own phone clock. Share this link instead and every table counts down from the same number.

Timing breakouts without herding
The recurring headache when you're facilitating is uneven groups: one table finishes early and goes quiet, another runs long, because each is glancing at a different phone. Share one link and every table counts down from the same number, so segments actually end together and you're not shouting "two more minutes" across a noisy room.
A practical pattern for planning a session: give each activity slightly less time than feels comfortable — groups expand to fill whatever they're given, and a tight clock keeps the energy up. Between segments, start the next duration and share the fresh link (each countdown is its own link). Put the current timer fullscreen on the room's main screen as the source of truth, and let anyone who wants it pull the same countdown up on their own device.
Common questions
- Yes — that's the intended use. Share one link and every table's device shows the identical time remaining, so there's no ambiguity about when a segment ends.
- Right now each link is one countdown at a time — start the next segment's timer and share its link when the previous one ends. Chained agenda sequences are on the roadmap.
- Yes — there's no limit on how many devices can open the same link, so it scales to as many tables or groups as you have.
