Presentation timer

A presentation timer that stays on top of Keynote and PowerPoint.

Most timers vanish the moment your slides go full screen. The Super Easy Timer Mac app stays on top of them: a small overlay you place anywhere on screen, visible over Keynote and PowerPoint even in full screen presenter mode.

Try the timer (web preview)

20:00
Theme

This preview runs in your browser, so it can only show the countdown on this page. To keep the timer on top of your actual slides, get the free Mac app. Here is why a website can't do it.

Why a website can't sit on top of your slides

Short answer: it can't. A web page lives inside your browser. The browser cannot draw on top of other apps, and it cannot stay visible over a full screen Keynote or PowerPoint presentation. Browsers are sandboxed for security, so any web timer drops behind your slideshow the moment it starts. The preview above can only show a countdown on this page.

The Super Easy Timer Mac app is not a web page. It is a native overlay:

  • On top of full screen: stays visible over full screen apps and presentations, including Keynote and PowerPoint.
  • Non-activating: clicking near it never pulls you out of your slides or steals focus.
  • Movable: drag it to any corner, off your content and away from the audience's eyes.
  • Not a full screen takeover: it is a small, always-visible overlay, not a page that covers your deck.

That behavior needs a real Mac app. The free download is below.

Built for the moment your slides take over the screen.

Stays on top of full screen slides

Keynote and PowerPoint go full screen and hide everything else. Super Easy Timer stays on top of the slideshow as a passive overlay, so your countdown is always in view.

Presentation-safe overlay

Non-activating and presentation-safe. It never steals focus, never clicks through to your slides, and never shows up where it should not.

Set your talk length in seconds

Type "20 minutes" or "20 m" or "20", press Return. Start the timer, start your talk.

Know when you run long

Count up after zero to see exactly how far over you went, then tighten the talk before the real thing.

How to time a talk without leaving your slides

  1. Open Super Easy Timer and type your talk length, then press Return.
  2. Choose the mode that stays on top of full screen apps.
  3. Start your Keynote or PowerPoint presentation.
  4. Present. The countdown stays visible over your slides.
