Swift Standup — Per-Speaker Timer

About

Daily Standup Timer — Scrum & Meeting Tracker

Keep your daily standups focused and productive (aka short)! This extension helps teams solve the common problem of meetings running too long when discussions drift from status updates into deep problem-solving.

🎯 THE PROBLEM
Daily standups are meant to be quick 15-minute check-ins, but they often balloon into hour-long discussions. Team members start solving problems instead of just sharing updates, and before you know it, everyone's time is wasted.

⏱️ THE SOLUTION
A visible, floating timer that creates gentle social accountability. When everyone can see the clock ticking, speakers naturally stay focused on their updates and save detailed discussions for later.

✨ KEY FEATURES
- Per-Speaker Timer: Set a maximum time per speaker (default 5 minutes) with a clear countdown display
- Lap Tracking: Record each speaker's time with customizable names
- Total Meeting Time: Track the overall meeting duration
- Visual Warnings: Red highlight when time runs out (soft pressure, not disruptive)
- Persistent State: Timer continues running even if you accidentally reload the page
- Draggable & Resizable: Position the timer anywhere on your screen
- Works Everywhere: Use on any webpage — JIRA, YouTrack, Redmine, Google Meet, Zoom, or any project management tool
- Minimizable: Collapse to a compact header when you need more screen space
- Privacy-First: All data stays local, nothing is sent to external servers

🚀 HOW IT WORKS
1. Click the extension icon while on any webpage — it's useful to run it over JIRA/Redmine/other task tracker while you're sharing a screen during a meeting
2. Set your desired time per speaker (or use the default 5 minutes)
3. Click "Start" when the first speaker begins
4. Click "Lap" when each speaker finishes to record their time and reset for the next person
5. Edit speaker names by clicking on them in the list
6. Click "Stop" to end the meeting
