Features & Capabilities

Performance Timer provides a clear, big-display countdown for performances, talks, and rehearsals. Set any duration from 1 to 99 minutes and track remaining time at a glance.

When the timer reaches zero, the digits turn red and the timer begins counting up, so you can see exactly how far you've overrun—without an audible alarm.

User Reviews

The timer is praised for its readable, high-visibility display and simple interface, making it ideal for live timing in events and presentations. It features a clear countdown that turns red at the end and continues as an overtime counter, with discreet, silent operation. Common drawbacks include a hard 99-minute limit, no count-up mode, no end chime, and limited rotation/orientation options. Improvements that could broaden its usefulness include longer durations, a count-up option, an optional alarm, and better orientation support.

Pros

Large, bright numbers that are easy to read from a distance.
Simple, reliable, and stable interface that is easy to use in live settings.
Clear countdown with a red time-up indicator and an ongoing overtime counter.
Excellent visibility and usefulness for live events, conferences, meetings, and performances.
Discreet operation with a silent countdown (no audible alarm) which is appreciated in client-facing contexts.

Cons

99-minute (1-hour) maximum limit, making it unusable for longer timers.
No option to count up (only countdown) despite user interest.
No built-in end alert/chime; no audible notification when time ends.
Limited orientation/rotation support; display cannot be rotated to suit device setup.

Perfect Size, simple interface, just needs the ability to count-up, stopwatch style!

It is exactly what I was looking for to time myself during my client’s appointments. The change of color and the lack of sound makes it discrete. It does not make clients uncomfortable. It just keeps me on track.

• Large, bright numbers - perfect • Countdown to zero - perfect • Overtime counter - perfect • Set time by minutes and seconds - maybe in the next update. This is by far the best countdown timer I have found for my needs (timing a TV show production). Please include seconds in the settings and I will increase my rating to five stars. Maybe include a setting where the user can change the color of the numbers — I would prefer red. Finally, you’ve perfected the countdown timer. How about creating a similar stopwatch?
