## Description

Go Timer is a free Chrome extension designed as a straightforward timer for Go or Shogi games. It features intuitive touch controls where touching the screen switches the active player's timer. All buttons remain hidden while time is running to maintain a clean interface, with the pause button accessible via the middle border. Pausing the timer reveals settings and reset options, allowing users to easily configure or reset their game timer.

The timer visually signals the countdown status by changing the screen color from green to yellow, then orange as time nears expiration. A voice countdown starts in the final 10 seconds to alert players audibly. Users can customize time limits and countdown settings in increments of 5 seconds, up to 12 hours, through the settings menu. Go Timer provides a simple yet effective way to keep track of game time with added accessibility through voice notifications, ensuring a smooth gaming experience for Go and Shogi enthusiasts.
