Hey fellow Bubblers! ![]()
We all need countdown timers for our apps—whether it’s for an OTP verification code, a Pomodoro timer, or a flash sale checkout. But styling them to look native, handling the 02:05 zero-padding, and triggering events at 00:00 is always unnecessarily annoying.
So, we built the Chronos Timer. It’s incredibly lightweight, uses zero heavy external libraries, and runs completely on pure JS/CSS.
We are releasing two versions today:
The Free Version:
- Perfectly formats time (MM:SS).
- Total control over Font Family, Size, and Color (it seamlessly matches your app’s typography!).
- Exposes Start, Pause, and Reset workflow actions.
- Fires a Timer Finished event at 00:00.
The Pro Version (The “Urgency” Update): We wanted to give you the tools to create real urgency without writing custom CSS or messy conditionals.
Danger Mode: The timer smoothly changes to a specific color (like Red) in the last X seconds.
Animations: Add native CSS Pulse or Blink effects during the final countdown to grab attention.
Audio Engine: Automatically plays a “Tick-Tock” sound during the danger zone, and triggers a final “Alarm” ringtone at zero!

You can grab the Free version right now to test the core engine, or upgrade to Pro if you want to add that extra layer of polish and urgency to your UX.
