Standup Timer
Paste your team's names, set a total meeting budget, and get a shuffled speaking order with an equal timebox per person. The current speaker shows huge, overtime turns red, and skips redistribute time fairly.

How to play
- Paste your team's names into the text box, one name per line, then set the total meeting budget in minutes.
- Tap Start Standup — names shuffle into a fair random order (or check the box to keep your typed order) and split the budget into an equal timebox each.
- The current speaker's name shows huge with a draining ring; tap Next Speaker to hand off, or Skip if someone is absent, which redistributes their time to whoever hasn't gone yet.
- Running over a timebox flips the ring and clock to a warning color so the group notices without anyone needing to interrupt.
Paste your team's names into the box, one per line, set how many minutes the whole standup should take, and tap Start Standup. The tool splits that budget into an equal timebox per person and shuffles the speaking order with a fair random draw, so nobody can claim the host stacked the deck. Whoever is up shows huge on screen with a ring that drains as their box empties, and once someone runs long the ring and clock flip to a clear warning color instead of silently vanishing. If a teammate is out, tap Skip and their unused time splits evenly across whoever hasn't spoken yet, so the meeting's total budget never quietly leaks away. A running order list at the bottom shows who's done, who's current, and who's still waiting.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the standup timer different from the Agenda Display tool?
- Agenda Display shows a fixed daily schedule against the wall clock with no per-person timeboxing. Standup Timer is built specifically for round-robin speaking: it shuffles a name list into a fair order and splits one shared time budget into equal per-person boxes, which Agenda Display does not do.
- What happens to the time budget when I skip someone who's absent?
- Their unused timebox is split evenly across everyone who hasn't spoken yet, so the total meeting time stays conserved instead of just disappearing — the standup still finishes on budget even with an empty chair.
- Does running over a person's timebox automatically move to the next speaker?
- No — going over just flips the ring and clock to a warning color as a visible nudge. The host stays in control and taps Next Speaker whenever the team is actually ready to move on.
