TOT – Looping Timer

About

TOT – Looping Timer is a lightweight, tabletop-friendly countdown tool. Set a time (HH:MM:SS), press Start, and watch it count down in real time. In the last 5 minutes the display turns red, and in the last 60 seconds it flashes to heighten tension. Tap Pause to hold, Reset to return to the starting value, or enable Loop (∞) to automatically restart when the timer reaches zero.

Designed for TTRPG encounters, puzzles, and high-pressure scenes—especially when you’re running a virtual tabletop (VTT) or a TV/display at the table—the timer floats as a compact overlay with bold digits that are easy to read at a glance.

Features:
-Real-time countdown (HH:MM:SS)
-Start / Pause / Reset controls
-Loop mode (∞) to auto-restart on zero
-Visual urgency cues: red in last 5 minutes, flashing in last 60 seconds
-Persistent settings between sessions (optional)

Use cases:
-Timed puzzles and lockouts
-Skill challenges with strict windows
-Chase scenes and wave clocks
-Dungeon events that tick down in the background

TOT Ecosystem:
If you use other TOT tools, Looping Timer appears alongside them in the shared dock for one-click toggling. Each tool runs independently; install only what you need.
