Free silent timer — no sound, visual alert only

A silent countdown for libraries, meetings, sleeping partners, or anyone who can't have audio. Instead of an alarm, the digits turn red and the whole screen flashes when time is up. Enter any duration, press Start, and let the screen do the alerting.
