Float Timer is a free visual timer: a coloured disk shrinks as time passes, so you can see how much is left at a glance instead of reading numbers. It can float on top of your other windows, and its “Leave by” mode tells you when to start getting ready. It is neurodivergent-friendly, and works for anyone who loses track of time.
Questions
Is it free?
Float Timer is completely free. There are no ads, no account and no paid version.
Does it work offline and on my phone?
Yes. It runs in your web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and keeps working without internet after your first visit. You can add it to your home screen from the browser menu to open it like an app.
Is my data private?
Everything you add stays in this browser on your device. Nothing is sent to Favabeans or anyone else, and there is no tracking of you.
Can the timer stay on top of other windows?
Yes, in Chrome and Edge on a computer. Press Float and the timer opens in a small window that stays above your other apps while you work.
What is the “Leave by” mode?
Tell it when you need to leave and how long you need to get ready. It shows how much time is left before you should start getting ready, so you are not caught out.
Can I save timers or run them in a row?
Yes. Save any timer as a one-tap button, or set up timers in a row, like focus for 25 minutes then a 5-minute break, three times. They stay in this browser, and you can save a backup file.
Do I need an account?
No. Open Float Timer and start. Everything is saved in this browser, and you can turn on encrypted sync if you want it on your other devices too.

Who it helps
If you lose track of time while working or getting ready, the shrinking disk shows how much is left without reading numbers. It also helps with timed tasks, breaks and leaving the house on time.
