Timing a presentation, a focus session or a call is easier when the time stays in view. Windows offers one built-in way, and a floating-timer app adds more.
Option 1: "Keep on top" in the Clock app
The Clock app that comes with Windows can show a timer in a small window that stays above other windows: start a timer, expand it, and choose Keep on top. It works for a single timer and shows it in a fixed small window.
Option 2: floating timer cards
FloatTimer+ for Windows (our app) floats timers, counters and stopwatches above every window as small pastel cards. Cards never take focus, so clicking one leaves your cursor where you were typing.
- Install FloatTimer+ from the Microsoft Store; it lives in the system tray.
- Create a timer, counter or stopwatch and float it.
- Start, pause and reset from the card itself; drag it anywhere or resize it.
- Collapse it into a small bubble, or push it against the screen edge, when you want the space back.
Free and Pro
You can make as many timers, counters and stopwatches as you like, with no ads. The free version floats one card at a time; Pro is a one-time purchase that floats as many as you want and adds repeating timers and custom alerts.
