Time's Up!
A countdown built to be seen from across the room
Press the fullscreen button or the F key and the countdown expands to fill the entire screen — huge, high-contrast digits with everything else stepped out of the way. It's built for situations where the timer needs to be readable at a glance from a distance: a classroom, a conference room, a stage, a gym floor.
What stays on screen in fullscreen mode
Fullscreen mode deliberately keeps only what you need mid-session:
- The countdown itself, at its largest size.
- Start / Pause / Reset, always reachable.
- A mute toggle, so alarm status is visible without opening a settings panel.
- An explicit exit-fullscreen control (or just press
Escape).
Everything else — presets, the duration inputs, alarm sound selection, the site navigation — is hidden until you exit.
The screen won't dim on you
On devices and browsers that support it, entering fullscreen also requests a screen wake lock, so the display won't automatically dim or sleep partway through a presentation or workout. If your browser doesn't support the Fullscreen API at all (this is rare, but happens on some mobile browsers), the timer falls back to a large, full-viewport display mode automatically — the experience degrades gracefully rather than breaking.

Frequently asked questions
Why won't fullscreen activate when the page first loads?
Browsers only allow fullscreen to be triggered by a direct user action, like a click or key press — it can never be triggered automatically on page load, by design.
What happens if my browser doesn't support the Fullscreen API?
The timer automatically falls back to a large, full-viewport display mode with the same big digits and controls, so the experience still works.
