Minute Minder: Meeting Timer for Google Meet

Lightweight timer and agenda cues for your team in Google Meet. Keep pace, curb overrun, and cut your expenses on meetings.

Tired of meetings that never end on time? The average team wastes over $37,000 per year on meetings that run overtime. No agenda. No time awareness. No clear outcomes. Just a clock ticking past the hour mark while everyone waits for someone to say "we're running out of time." Minute Minder fixes this. Permanently. Minute Minder is the AI-powered meeting timer and agenda assistant for Google Meet that keeps every meeting on time, on track, and outcome-focused. It turns your Google Calendar events into a time-boxed plan, displays a visible countdown timer inside your Google Meet call, sends custom in-call reminders and nudges at key moments, and uses AI to generate a smart meeting agenda — all so your meetings actually end with decisions, not confusion. Think of it as the "bad cop" your meetings need — so you don't have to be one. ━━━━━━ WHY TEAMS CHOOSE MINUTE MINDER ━━━━━━ ★ AI MEETING TIMER — VISIBLE RIGHT INSIDE GOOGLE MEET Minute Minder automatically detects your active Google Meet session and displays a clear, color-coded countdown timer overlay. Green when you have time. Yellow at the halfway mark. Red when overtime is approaching. Your entire meeting can see exactly how much time is left — no more guessing, no more "are we running over?" The timer syncs directly with your Google Calendar, so it automatically knows when your meeting is supposed to end. If the calendar event changes, the timer updates dynamically. Zero setup needed. ★ AI AGENDA ASSISTANT — YOUR MEETING PLAN IN ONE CLICK This is what separates Minute Minder from every other meeting timer extension. Our AI reads your calendar event — the title, description, attendees, duration — and generates a structured, time-boxed agenda with: • A clear meeting goal • Segmented agenda items with suggested durations • A built-in buffer for Q&A or overflow • 1-2 coaching tips tailored to your meeting type Share the agenda with participants before, during, or after the meeting. Everyone stays aligned. No one walks in asking "what are we talking about today?" ★ CUSTOM IN-CALL REMINDERS & NUDGES Set up personalized notifications that appear during your Google Meet call at exactly the right moments: • Half-time reminder: "You're halfway through — are you on track?" • 5-minute warning: "5 minutes left. Time to wrap up and land decisions." • Overtime alert: "This meeting is now running over. Respect everyone's next commitment." • Custom triggers: Create your own reminders for any moment in the meeting. Reminders can include audio alerts, visual pop-ups, or both. They act as gentle but firm nudges that keep your meeting focused — without you having to be the person who interrupts. ★ MEETING ANALYTICS & INSIGHTS After every meeting, track your performance on the Minute Minder web dashboard: • Total meetings managed this week • Hours spent in meetings • Percentage of meetings that ended on time • Number of overtime meetings • Your improvement trend over time Finally see the data behind your meeting habits. What gets measured gets improved. ★ BUILT FOR TEAMS — NOT JUST INDIVIDUALS Minute Minder scales from solo freelancers to entire organizations: • Invite teammates and manage roles from the dashboard • Admins can publish organization-wide reminders that all team members see during meetings (but can't edit) • Share AI-generated agendas across your team • Org-level meeting analytics show how your entire team performs • Team templates standardize meeting structure across the company ━━━━━━ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━ 🕒 In-meeting timer & cues A compact overlay right inside Google Meet shows remaining time with halftime/overtime indicators. You’ll see subtle cards at the right moments: halftime, 10 minutes before end, 5 minutes before end, overtime, and 5 minutes after overtime (optional chime). 🔔 Smart reminders library (customisable) Start with sensible defaults, then add your own reminders (timing, message, sound on/off). Admins can publish org-wide reminders that members can use but can’t change - perfect for standardising good habits across the team. 🤖 Agenda Timer AI Minute Minder drafts a 3-7 segment, time-boxed agenda from your calendar title, description, duration and attendees, then gently guides transitions with tips (e.g., trade minutes, park topics, wrap decisions). Accept/edit before the call; see segment timers during it. 📊 Dashboard & analytics Weekly cards show meetings managed, hours in meetings, % on time, and number of overrun sessions so you can prove the improvement and coach the team. 👥 Team & billing Invite teammates, enforce plan limits, and upgrade via Stripe in a couple of clicks. Roles and org-level reminders make it easy to roll out at company scale. ✨ Polished, unobtrusive UI Material-influenced, minimal design; overlay sits neatly in the Meet UI (top-right), notifications slide in at the top-centre, keyboard accessible and screen-reader labelled. ━━━━━━ HOW IT WORKS (3 STEPS) ━━━━━━ 1️⃣ INSTALL & CONNECT — Add Minute Minder from the Chrome Web Store.

It manages your meeting: ✓ AI Agenda Assistant — No other meeting timer generates a smart agenda from your calendar event. ✓ Custom reminders with triggers — Not just "time's up" but nudges at half-time, custom intervals, and overtime. ✓ Audio + visual alerts — Choose how you want to be reminded. ✓ Team-wide features — Org reminders, shared agendas, admin controls. ✓ Meeting analytics — Track your on-time rate and improve over time. ✓ Outcome-focused — Nudges designed to land decisions, not just end calls. Free timers count down. Minute Minder counts the outcomes. ━━━━━━ 🏷️PRICING ━━━━━━ FREE TRIAL — 7 days of full access to all features. No credit card required.

A: Currently, Minute Minder is built exclusively for Google Meet. Support for additional platforms is on our roadmap. Q: Does the timer show for all meeting participants? A: The timer overlay is visible to the Minute Minder user (the host). When you share your screen, all participants can see it. Shared agendas and reminders can be sent to all attendees. Q: Is my calendar data safe? A: Absolutely. We use Google OAuth for secure authentication. We only read your calendar data to generate agendas and sync timers. We never modify your calendar or share your data with third parties. Q: Can I customize when reminders appear? A: Yes. Set reminders for half-time, 5 minutes before end, overtime, or create fully custom triggers. Choose audio alerts, visual notifications, or both. Q: Does it work with Google Workspace (business accounts)? A: Yes. Minute Minder works with both personal Gmail and Google Workspace accounts. Q: How is this different from Google Meet's built-in timer? A: Google Meet does not have a native visible countdown timer for meetings. Some calendar integrations show end times, but there are no in-call reminders, no AI agenda, no custom nudges, and no analytics. Minute Minder fills this gap completely. ━━━━━━ GET STARTED TODAY━━━━━━ Install Minute Minder now and run your next meeting like a pro. Your team will thank you. Your calendar will thank you.
