About the race timer
The race timer turns any countdown into a contest: the tortoise, the hare, the fox, and the snail all set off when you press Start, jostling for the lead the whole way, and every racer reaches the finish line at the exact moment time runs out.
Teachers use it to gamify transitions — beat the racers to a tidy desk, finish the worksheet before the snail catches up. Because the winner isn't decided until the end, students stay glued to the screen for the whole countdown.
Need a plain countdown instead? Use the online timer or set an alarm for a specific time.
