Thanks for checking out Faketimer. I developed this tool after noticing a need for a timer that could steal a minute or two in pitch sessions I was managing. Cutting people off who were giving it their all felt bad, so I wanted to create a way to gently manage the flow. Faketimer lets you display a different time than the actual countdown, I’m open to any feedback or suggestions.

@johns1903241 great idea. you could add the option to slow it down or speed it up. Would be a great help for teachers. P.s a lot of the ui is not displayed on brave browser

Sounds like a great idea, John! Haven't tried it yet, but I can see how this would be super helpful in pitch meetings. Best of luck!

Adding fake urgency might seem fun for pranks but do we really need tools that could easily trick people, wondering if there's a more ethical way to use this tech, any thoughts on adding transparency features?

Got to know about this timer thingy from an ad, it's kinda weird tho, like who really needs fake timers, but I guess it could be funny for some pranks or jokes at parties maybe, ever thought about adding more customization options or making it usable for some practical jokes in gaming?

Y'know I can't help but think this customizable countdown timer thing isn't as unique as it claims, haven't we seen similar stuff in apps like Countdown+ and Big Countdown Timer already, also, it's a bit unsettling to add fake urgency to real situations, it reminds me of false advertising tactics which we all hate, seems a little unethical, don't you think, I'm curious how others feel about using such a product in professional settings, like is it just me or does anyone else find this kinda sketchy?

Sure, this could be fun for a prank but honestly, it feels kinda gimmicky and could lead to some trust issues, what's the deeper value, Are we supposed to lie for laughs?
