About FakeTimer
Our Mission
At FakeTimer, we believe that time is more than just numbers on a clock. It's a tool for creating experiences, building anticipation, and adding drama to everyday moments. Our mission is to give you complete control over how time is perceived, whether you're hosting a game night, delivering a presentation, creating content, or just having fun with friends.
We built FakeTimer because we saw a gap: standard countdown timers are rigid and boring. They don't account for the human element of timing. Sometimes you need to stretch a moment. Sometimes you need to compress it. FakeTimer puts that power in your hands.
What We Do
FakeTimer is a free, browser-based countdown timer that lets you display one time while the actual countdown runs at a different pace. This simple concept unlocks countless creative applications:
- Game Nights: Add surprise and excitement to trivia, charades, and board games
- Presentations: Keep speakers on track with strategically paced timers
- Streaming: Create engaging countdown moments for your Twitch or YouTube audience
- Education: Help students manage time perception during tests and activities
- Marketing: Build urgency and drive conversions with dynamic countdown displays
- Personal Productivity: Experiment with time perception to enhance focus
