Jan Rogers
Time Timer Inventor and Founder
Over 30 years ago, Time Timer inventor Jan Rogers’ youngest child struggled to make transitions from one daily routine to another.
Motivated to solve this universal problem, Jan created the Time Timer—an innovative, simple time management tool designed to “show” the passage of time through the use of a patented red disk. As time elapses, the red disk disappears—making common routines at work, school or home stress-free and enjoyable.
How Does Time Timer Work?
By turning the center knob counterclockwise, the colored disk can be set to the desired amount of time.
As time elapses, the colored disk disappears and shows exactly how much time is left.
What makes our products unique?
Time Timer is the original visual timer and is the only one that reinforces the movement of an analogue clock.
Why do we love what we do?
Time Timer believes in creating products that truly help people of all ages and abilities to conquer time - in the classroom, in the home, and in the office.
Intuitive Assistive Technology
While time can be a challenge for everyone, we aim to provide intuitive and innovative solutions that make a real difference.

Jan Rogers, Founder & Inventor - Time Timer
In October 1989, Jan was a busy mom with a curious kindergartner. Her daughter routinely asked questions about time: "How much longer? When will we go? How long is 15 minutes? When will dinner be ready?" Jan, like many others, found explaining time to a 5-year old difficult, frustrating...okay, downright crazy-making.
After many years of dedicated work, solopreneurship turned into a team effort, and the vision of "being able to see time" eventually traveled around the globe. After 25 years, the same Time Timer Jan originally sketched on a legal pad can be found in classrooms, homes, therapy centers, restaurants, boardrooms, and factories around the world.
How Time Timer Works
Easy to Set
By turning the center knob counterclockwise, the colored disk can be set to the desired amount of time.
No Loud Ticking
The timer automatically begins to count down with no loud ticking.
Time Visually Disappears
As time elapses, the colored disk disappears. The Time Timer operates in a clockwise direction to replicate the movement of an analog clock, and shows exactly how much time is left.
Make Every Moment Count
When you see time disappear, you can conquer it. When the red disk is gone, time is up! An optional alert is available.
At School
The Time Timer MOD is perfect for both teachers and students – with its fun colors, soft silicone cover and desktop size it can range from personal work to small group settings. Perfect for color coded activity centers, teaching self-regulation, and managing teacher lesson time.
At Work
Whether you are in a stand-up meeting or trying to focus on a task at your desk, the Time Timer MOD can increase productivity for everyone in the office. The removable silicone cover can be used to signify to others when it’s ok to be bothered, and when it’s not.
At Home
Its modern shape and small size make it perfect for toting all around the house. Different colors can be used for different kids or different tasks. Take it to different rooms for some whole-house speed cleaning. Use it at your desk for homework, or the couch for screen time.

Small in Size, Big on Style
Portable
At 3.6 inches (9.2 cm), the Time Timer MOD can easily be carried around, fits into a backpack, and takes up limited space on a desk. All while keeping style in mind.
Safety First Battery Compartment
CPSIA Certified
The MOD’s CPSIA Battery Compartment certifies that this is a safe product to be used for and around children, whether in the classroom, at home, or in the office (if your office just also happens to have children in it).
Optional Alert (ON or OFF)
Ideal for Sound Sensitive Environments
Optional alert sound allows this timer to be used in all environments. The alert can be silenced for sound-sensitive environments or can be set to a moderate level. The alert stops automatically after four double beeps.
Cover = Stylish Protection
Choose your favorite color! Sky Blue, Charcoal Grey or Lime Green
We get it – the Time Timer can sometimes be dropped or thrown. The MOD’s durable silicone cover is more than just fun – it also helps add a small layer of protection to your timer.
