Which time tool fits?

Choose by the question: how much time is left, what focus phase comes next, how much time elapsed, or when several places share one instant.

Use a countdown when the endpoint matters

A countdown starts with an allowance and moves toward zero. It fits a break, classroom activity, cooking step, or meeting block. Mallow Timer derives remaining time from a fixed finish time, so a delayed background tab does not silently add time.

Use a stopwatch when there is no planned finish

A stopwatch starts at zero and answers how long an activity has taken. Laps capture the current interval while total splits keep the full elapsed time.

Use a time-zone planner for one shared instant

Comparing wall-clock labels is not enough when dates, UTC offsets, or daylight-saving rules differ. Pick one instant, review every local date and time, then share the plan or export an ICS file.
