About this countdown
The end of the school day, the end of the shift, the end of the working day: all of them land at a fixed hour. This page counts down to 17:00 and does it again the next day, without anybody having to set it.
Put it on the screen in the classroom, the workshop or the office so everybody can see how much of the day is left. Full screen, a bell at the end of the day, and a link to share.
