Countdown vs Pomodoro vs Stopwatch

Pro Tips for Events
- Test fullscreen before the audience arrives — Confirm visibility from back rows
- Set a buffer — Announce "2 minutes" at 2:00, not at 0:00
- Second monitor — Run the timer on a side display while you present on the main screen
- Dark room — Pair with Black Screen between sessions to reduce glare
