🖥
Fullscreen Mode
Expand the timer to fill any screen — project it onto a whiteboard, TV, or second monitor so every student in the room can see it clearly.
🔴
Colour Warning
The display shifts colour in the final 5 minutes — a visual cue that time is nearly up, visible at a glance without interrupting the exam.
🔔
Alarm on Expiry
An alarm fires when the countdown reaches zero. Students hear it, pencils go down — even if the invigilator is looking elsewhere.
⏸
