The display turns amber in the final minute and red at zero, with an optional chime. Press the space bar to pause and resume, and switch to full screen for the projector.

Class Seating Chart runs entirely in your browser. Class lists, seating charts and settings are stored in local storage on this device only, and the noise meter never records audio. There are no student accounts and nothing to upload.

Frequently asked questions
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. It is based on the clock rather than counting ticks, so it stays accurate even in a background tab.
Can I turn the sound off?
Yes. Untick Chime at zero for a silent timer.
Is Class Seating Chart free for teachers?
Yes. Every tool works free in your browser with no account, no sign-up and no student logins.
Where are my class lists stored?
Only in this browser, on this device. Student names are never uploaded to a server, which keeps you clear of most student data privacy concerns.
Can I import my roster from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Paste names one per line, or import a CSV exported from Excel, Google Sheets or your school information system. A name column, or first and last name columns, are detected automatically.
