Run a Countdown Timer with Remote Control
Timed activities keep lessons paced and pupils engaged. Kredits Timer displays a large countdown on your projector and lets you control it remotely from your phone.
How to do it
Open Kredits Timer
Sign in to Kredits and go to the Timer app from the Hub or the sidebar.
Set duration (minutes and seconds)
Pick a preset (1–30 minutes) or type a custom time on any timer card.
Display the timer to the class
Project the browser tab full-screen so pupils can see the countdown clearly from anywhere in the room.
Control from your device
Click "Start", "Pause", "Resume", or reset the timer from your laptop or phone — no need to walk back to the board.
Timer alerts when time is up
The card flashes and a sound plays automatically when the countdown reaches zero.
Use for timed tasks, transitions, or deadlines
Run several timers side by side — one per task, group, or activity — and reset them all in one click.
Best practices
Open the timer on your phone alongside the projector for quick mobile control.
Pair Timer with group work or seating changes for smooth, well-paced transitions.
Add extra time mid-activity if needed by typing a custom duration and hitting Set.
Use "Reset All" between lessons to clear every timer back to its starting time.
