Presentation Timer
Plan your talk in sections, then run a live countdown that follows your plan. The timer turns yellow when only two minutes remain, plays a beep at every section change, and switches to red overtime counting if you run past zero.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does the presentation timer handle multiple sections?
You add one row per section with its own name and minutes. When the timer starts, it walks through the sections in order and highlights the current one automatically.
What happens if my section times do not add up to the total?
The tool warns you about the mismatch and offers to auto-scale every section so the total matches your target time exactly.
What sound alerts does the timer give?
It plays a short beep when each section changes and a double beep when time runs out. Overtime keeps counting up in red so you can see how far over you are.
How do I know when time is almost up?
The timer turns yellow when only two minutes remain, then red when you run into overtime, counting up so you can see how far over you are.
