Online Debate Timer
Track speaking time for debates, meetings, and presentations. Support for multiple speakers with fair time allocation.
Fair time. Tracked for everyone.
Two-to-eight speakers, individual time per side, format presets for LD / PF / Policy / Parli / WS / BP, audio warnings at one minute, thirty seconds, and the bell.
Multiple speakers
Support 2–8 speakers with individual time tracking. Perfect for round-robin debates, panels, group discussions, and Model UN.
Per-speaker allocation
Equal time across the table or custom limits per speaker. Visual progress bar shows time remaining at a glance from across the room.
Audio & visual warnings
Audio + visual signals at 1 minute, 30 seconds, and when time expires. The visual cue means the timekeeper doesn't have to interrupt.
One-tap switching
Tap to switch between speakers instantly. The previous speaker's timer pauses automatically — no risk of double-running clocks.
Refresh-safe sessions
Timers auto-save in your browser. Refresh or close the tab and come back — every running round stays intact.
Works offline
No internet required once loaded. Hotel ballrooms, school gyms, and league cabin Wi-Fi can all drop and the timer keeps going.
Start the round in seconds.
No app, no account. Pick a format preset, tap the first speaker, you're running.
