What it is

A Google Sheets classroom timer with countdown, stopwatch, rotation, and traffic-light tools — built for teachers who project their day on a big screen. Make a copy of the template, authorize it once, and you're ready to project your first countdown: no apps to install, no software to learn.

Launch timers from a custom sidebar, run a full-screen display with focus mode and a "Time's Up!" celebration, flip the traffic light between green, yellow, and red with custom messages, schedule events with automatic "days away" tracking, and restyle everything with four built-in color themes. Written PDF instructions walk through every tab.

Questions

How do I get the timer after buying?

You'll receive a link to make your own editable copy of the Google Sheet. Opening it the first time prompts a one-time Google authorization — after that, a custom menu and sidebar appear automatically every time you open the file.

What does the one-time authorization do?

It authorizes the template's built-in script so the custom menu and sidebar can appear. It's standard for any Sheets template with custom menus — no coding knowledge needed, and everything stays private to your own sheet.
