About this tool

A break should actually feel like a break, and this timer's whole job is to make that time visible without turning it into another countdown pressure. Leave it running on the screen while students eat, chat, or just decompress, and it quietly counts down how much time remains. When the break ends, it doesn't just cut off — it greets the class back with a friendly message instead of an abrupt buzzer. It's a small touch that works well for recess, between-class breaks, or a pause partway through a long block.
