Simple Timer

Need a timer that not only tracks time but also alerts you audibly? Meet Simple Timer (By Sandy) — a lightweight Chrome Extension that counts down and speaks “Time’s up!” when your session ends. No more staring at the screen!

Why This Extension?

Many timers silently finish, and you might miss them while working, studying, or browsing. This extension gives you a clear, audible alert so you immediately know when time’s up.

Key Features

  1. Set Your Time
    Quickly enter the countdown duration and start tracking your session. Perfect for work, study, or short breaks.

    • Start: Begin the countdown instantly.
    • Pause: Stop the timer mid-way without losing your progress.
    • Reset: Clear the current session and start fresh.
  3. Audible Alert: “Time’s up!”
    When the timer reaches zero, it speaks out “Time’s up!” — so you don’t have to keep checking the screen.
  4. Accessible in Browser
    As a Chrome Extension, it’s just a click away in your toolbar — no need to open external apps.

How It Works

The extension uses a simple countdown mechanism and leverages the browser’s speech synthesis feature to announce “Time’s up!” automatically. It’s lightweight, responsive, and runs smoothly in the background while you focus on your tasks.
