So, I created OBS Timer:
OBS Timer does all the work for you, no need to tell it to update the time, no need to do math, no need to press a button 45 times and clear out the seconds: it just works.
The time is set automatically and it turns off the countdown when you're done. You don't even have to worry about the time format, it's always hh:mm:ss.
All the buttons are preset for 15 minute intervals that advance automatically as time progresses. Want to set a countdown timer? Press a button.
The only thing you need to know is that the output file is saved into your documents directory (obs_timer_text.txt). Add that as a text layer in OBS and you're good to go.

All you need to do is run the downloaded file and the install will do everything for you. It even opens OBS automatically for you.

Note: This is an alpha release, I've only tested it on two computers, so if you have any problems please post here or on GitHub so I can fix them.
erm, can you explain it a little bit?
is it manipulating the Timer Precison mentioned here?
yes, i have added a link to the article..
Countdown timers are a fantastic tool in maintaining a good pace in a lesson and keeping students focused. You can read some ideas for how to use countdown timers in your classroom here! Here are some awesome timers you can use in your lessons!
had to use this in my .bat file to get running.
start ' 'C:PathToToolTimerTool.exe' -t 0.5 -minimized
So by default the tool tells me 0,5. I'd however like to change it to 1 but everytime i do set it to 1. It flashes up as 1.00092 for a second and then straight goes back to 0,5. Any idea how to fix this ?
@marcelxvi there might be another software running that checks the timer and sets it back to 0.5. so you need to disable all running software one after another to see which one is setting the timer to 0.5.
what windows are you using?
@tonfilm I'm running windows 10 anniversary update. Actually I've booted into safe mode and the timer was 15 and I could set it 1 just fine. Must be some software then. Can't figure out which at this point tho :/
Finally I can use it on windows 7
works out of the box, thanks
@tonfilm i've done some testing now. Started with nothin enabled still had the problem. Then i figured this problem only happens whenever any sort of media is playing or windows sounds are hapening for example. Every time there's a mouseclick for example, it'd go down to 0,5 and back to 1 once it's over. Any heads up on that ?

@marcelxvi well, only to disable windows sounds completely...

@tonfilm sadly that is not an option for me. Gonna test some more things and leave some feedback once I figured the problem just in case others have this problem too
