A smart, lightweight timer that works with Google Slides. Pick the slide range you’ll present, set a total time, optionally tweak a few slides, and start presenting. Slides Timer divides time fairly, shows a clean countdown overlay, and dynamically redistributes spare/overrun time so you always know when to move on.
Why use a Dynamic Timer?
- Always on schedule — Fair time per slide with a clear, on‑screen countdown.
- Adapts live — Finish early? Extra seconds are spread across remaining slides. Run long? Remaining slides share the cut.
- Simple & private — Runs locally in your browser; no accounts, no analytics, no ads.
What it does
- Adds a small launcher in the Slides editor and a floating overlay in Present mode.
- Lets you select a slide range (e.g.,
1–10
) and a total time (e.g.,10
minutes). - Supports per‑slide overrides in a simple textbox:
3: +2
→ add 2 minutes to slide 33: -1
→ subtract 1 minute from slide 33: =5
→ set slide 3 to exactly 5 minutes- Shows a per‑slide time hint in the popup so you can see the average time allocation before you start.
- During the talk: the overlay counts down; finishing slides early or late automatically rebalances time across the remaining slides.
How to use (Quick Start)
- Open your Google Slides deck (editor view).
- Click the Timer launcher in the toolbar (or the extension icon).
- In the popup:
- Pick your start and end slide (e.g.,
1–10

10
).
- Pick your start and end slide (e.g.,
- Click Save or Start.
- Enter Present mode. The timer overlay appears automatically.
- Use the overlay to Start / Pause / Stop as needed.
Note: If you try to save a range that exceeds the real slide count, the timer warns you and blocks saving.
