Time Timer has proven for 25 years to be a globally recognized time management resource for kids and adults. Designed to show the passage of time using the signature red disk. As time elapses, the red disk disappears in a clear, graphic way – making common routines at work, school, and home stress-free and enjoyable. The Time Timer Original 3″ is the ideal 60-minute visual timer for all abilities, including kids and adults with autism or ADHD. This personal desktop timer for kids and professionals has easy-to-read numbers. The Time Timer Original 3 inch has a clear plastic cover to protect the face of the timer – making it portable and ideal for on-the-go time management needs. The timer continues when the lid is closed. The cover opens on a hinge located under the timer face and becomes a stand. If desired, write or draw the task on the included Dry Erase Activity Card and place card on top slot. Move the red disk counter-clockwise to the duration of your choice (up to 60-minutes). The timer is now set, and the quiet countdown has begun. No ticking means no distractions! As time expires, the red disk disappears moving in a clockwise direction – providing an understanding of time left with just a quick glance. An optional alert (on/off) on the back of the timer controls the sound at the end of the timing cycle.
From the manufacturer
Jan Rogers, Founder & Inventor – Time Timer
In October 1989, Jan was a busy mom with a curious kindergartner. Her daughter routinely asked questions about time: “How much longer? When will we go? How long is 15 minutes? When will dinner be ready?” Jan, like many others, found explaining time to a 5-year old difficult, frustrating…okay, downright crazy-making.
After many years of dedicated work, solopreneurship turned into a team effort, and the vision of “being able to see time” eventually traveled around the globe. After 25 years, the same Time Timer Jan originally sketched on a legal pad can be found in classrooms, homes, therapy centers, restaurants, boardrooms, and factories around the world.
How Time Timer Works

|---|---|---|---|
Easy to SetBy turning the center knob counterclockwise, the colored disk can be set to the desired amount of time. |
No Loud TickingThe timer automatically begins to count down with no loud ticking. |
Time Visually DisappearsAs time elapses, the colored disk disappears. The Time Timer operates in a clockwise direction to replicate the movement of an analog clock, and shows exactly how much time is left. |

Great timer, with some small issuesSo far, I like this little timer. It’s a great tool to help visualize the time that’s left, which is great for ADHD brains! It feels solid enough for what it is, and I was really pleased with the simple packaging. The carry bag for it is very soft, and I honestly wish I had a shirt made of the same material as the liner!There are, however, some small design choices that I didn’t like. Far from deal breakers, but for $25, it’s a little annoying that these things weren’t accounted for.First, the biggest annoyance: No included battery. This timer takes a single AA, which I thankfully was able to find in my junk drawer. However, for the price and what you get, I feel like tossing in a battery wouldn’t be the end of the world. It’s a small gesture, but for those with no batteries on hand, it can be the difference between being excited to use it and being annoyed with needing to buy a pack for a single one at the store.Secondly, the cover for the timer is difficult to open without nails. There’s a small cutout at the top of the cover that’s juuust big enough to get your nail into to pry it open. Without nails, you’d need to get something else to open it. This could’ve been avoided by adding a divot in the black casing, and it’s something I’d like to see in a future iteration, if at all.Finally, the small wheel in the center, which is meant to turn the timer. It’s a super small, super smooth plastic button that’s nearly impossible to grab onto securely. A textured surface or even making it taller would’ve easily prevented this. As of now, I’m dragging the little magnifier around to wind it, as if it’s a rotary phone.TL;DR: Great product, but some small design changes would make a world of difference. Get it if you want a small visual timer!

Can’t get enough of these visual timers!💕I love this little timer with a focused goal(s) I write on the attached small white board. Keeps me on track for the duration. Really a great external tool to help with achieving timed goal accomplishments.

So handy to remind me when to move on to the next taskWould give 5 stars if it had an optional less annoying ring or an option to lower the volume a bit. I tried using it at work but the alarm was too loud, and I often missed the timer ending silently.

Is just rightLove the time timer!!

Low cost and easy to useIt is a great visual timer for my autistic son. When the timer is done, it has a soft beep, which works well with people with sensory issues. Very easy to use

To dampen “beep beep” noise…I had to both stuff foam into the circular areas over the speaker/into the actual internal mechanism and also put tape over the box. This dampens the noise so that I don’t get startled.

Not bad, but only one on the marketEverything about this timer that I don’t like I already knew, due to the helpful reviews on Amazon.Pros:1. Good visual timerCons:1. No “tick-tick” sound (can be a pro sometimes)2. The ending beep is very soft. My 69 yr old dad couldn’t even hear it when I pointed it out to him. But, in all fairness, it was purchased for my 4 yr old and my almost 7 yr old, not him. They can hear it, as long as the TV is not on it’s top volume or it’s not noisy. We bought it for use on the computer. I also time my 4 yr old (who is on the Spectrum and sometimes needs to be “timed” in activities so she will transition easier to non-preferred activities)… it won’t work for that situation b/c the beep is not loud enough to hear while she is doing a non-preferred activity. We use the timer on my iPhone for that since it is nice and loud. (She also gets to pick the sound.) Also, a word of warning… they do sell a version of this timer that does NOT have the ending beep at all. Make sure you purchase the one that has the ending beep. The timer does have the option to turn “off” the ending beep by a switch in the back. I don’t believe it was any more money for the beeping version.3. The timer face is very fragile. The first day we used it, my almost 7 yr old over-did the timer. It works by moving your finger around the clock face to the amount of time you want. She went past the 60 and beyond. It let her do it and it was a bit tough to “un-do”. We did get it though. I also am worried about how long this will last. Both kids were given lectures about touching it and being careful with it. I do think that’s a must for all kids, even big kids who think they know everything. The 4 yr old was given instructions to NOT move the clock face at all. Normally, she’s not too bad, but this thing is way too fragile for me to trust her. The 7 yr old was given a big lecture and is now allowed to work it.4. If it falls, you need to re-position the battery. We’ve had this set up for about 3 or 4 wks so far and we’ve already thought it died a number of times. Or we thought it needed a new battery. When it falls (even slightly), the battery falls out of place in it’s compartment. The compartment door is still closed, so you think it’s fine. However when you open up the door, you find it out of place. This is all while you think it’s “timing” you, so the kid gets LOTS of extra time out of the activity until you realize “Hey, hasn’t it been longer than 10 minutes??” Very annoying. Another reason I worry it may not last as long as I would like it to.5. WAY too expensive for the problems this timer hasAnd the NUMBER ONE CON is:6. It’s the ONLY visual timer on the market. So you have to s**k it up and purchase it if that’s what you are looking for.

Great little visual timer, whether you have ADHD or not.I love the bold simplicity of this timer. The red wedge shrinks as time passes. Think of it as a veil between the minute hand and twelve o’clock. The visual cue helps me grasp how much time I’ve spent and how much I’ve got much better than a regular timer does. It comes in a little bag, but if you’re planning on taking it with you to work, etc. you’ll want to pad it somehow. It’s not flimsy at all, but I don’t think it would do well under a crush of books or in a fall to a hard floor.

This is BRILLIANT!When I start working on a project, I focus too much on what I am doing. I tried “chunking” my time for different segments., but found I would spend too much time on one part. This resulted in rushing trough the amount of time left for the additional segments. The timer allows you to set up the time you wish to devote to a segment (very easy to set) and provides a visual aid on how much time left in your segment with the color 60 minute analog face slowly disappearing. It’s a little “nudge” to get you to concentrate on what you are doing, keeping you on track. That is the edge it gives you on other count down timers.Another pro, it has a beeping alarm that is not jarring, and only beeps for about two or three seconds. (No racing to turn an annoying buzzer off.) I purchased the smaller version (about the size of a small portable alarm clock) so I carry it with me for work, home or job site. I have been much more productive now.

great idea and good functionI’ve had my Time timer for about a week, and so far I am really enjoying the benefits it has given me. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and I have been using this to keep me focused at work. it has worked very well, and it’s amazing to see how fast time can pass. I have also used it at home with the kids when we are cleaning up toys. It works great with the 4 year old because she can see the light at the end of the tunnel (when the timer is up she can play/watch tv). she stays focused until “the red is gone” as she says.Others have noted a flimsy construction. I’m not sure what is to be expected. it is a very simple device using a simple clock motor to bring the disc around to zero. there’s really not much to it. I don’t get the impression that it would fall apart during normal use, though if the kids got a hold of it that could be another story.The alarm is VERY soft. I think this works great for work/school situations. I can’t have some loud thing beeping at my desk all day. It’s loud enough for me to hear but not disturb my neighbors. but when using it at home with noisy kids running around/music/tv’s it’s nearly inaudible. It would be nice if they made it with a 2 level volume option like a lot of kid’s toys have.I think the price is way to high for this item. I can’t believe this tiny clock retails on their website for $30. Even the $20 here on amazon seems too much. $10 or $15 max seems more appropriate. but like everyone has said there isn’t anything else like this around so they’ve kind of got you there. Personally the benefits i’ve seen from it just in the last week are enough to make me feel that paying $20 might not be so bad. some competition would be good for the customers.
