12 free tools for timers and time calculations

Choose between several possibilities The Random Wheel makes the choice more visual. Between two and eight possibilities can be placed on a colored wheel, which spins before stopping on one of them.

Why free tools, no account, and no intrusive ads?
The problem with small tools that make things complicated Sometimes, all we need is a tool for a very simple action: counting characters, changing text case, generating a password, picking a random number, or starting a timer. In these situations, every obstacle quickly becomes annoying. A window blocking the screen, a mandatory sign-up, an overloaded page, or a button that is difficult to find can be enough to make people... [read more]
