Extension summary

QUICK START: I'm working on an improved input system, but for now a quick start for how to use the current one: You can use the mouse scroll wheel, just point to the right time field and scroll the wheel up/down to adjust the value (ddd hh:mm:ss). You can also use the keyboard by directly typing the desired time. First click on one of the timers (anywhere beside notes) and input your time. Examples: To set 15 minutes: 15. or 1500 (00:15:00) To set 72 hours (3 days): 72.. or 3... (3 00:00:00) To set 3 hours and 45 minutes: 345. or 3.45. (03:45:00) To set 90 seconds (1:30): 90 or 1.30 (00:01:30)

Fixes:

  • Fixed keyboard input not registering

Features:

  • Tricky input (still working on it)

Will this extension be updated? I see the notice, "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." This is a very useful timer for classroom management and I would donate a small fee to keep it active? I hope the developer continues to develop it for Chrome and for iOS TV.

Simple and elegant timer for countdowns and count ups. I like being able to use the mouse scroll wheel to set time. I also like being able to effortlessly see the time remaining at the extensions area. East to find but not in the way.
