Minute Minder
is a Meeting timer and notifications for google meet сhrome extension + web app that keeps online meetings on time and outcome-focused. You’ll see a clean in-meeting timer, subtle reminder cards at the moments you choose, and an Agenda AI Assistant that drafts a realistic, time-boxed plan from your calendar. A lightweight dashboard adds team templates, analytics, and billing built for SMEs, agencies, and consultants.
The problem (and why time slips in Meet)
Most teams lose 5-10 minutes per call to drift, overrun, and awkward wrap-ups. Without a shared, visible clock and polite cues, nobody wants to play “time police,” so meetings run long and decisions evaporate. Even with Meet’s new native timer, you still don’t get team reminders, guided transitions, or analytics about how you’re doing. Minute Minder covers those gaps.
How Minute Minder works
In-meeting timer & reminder cards.
Auto-detects Google Meet and shows remaining time with halftime/overtime indicators. Reminder cards can be set to any timing you like. Optional chime. Compact, unobtrusive UI.Agenda AI Assistant.
From your calendar title/description/attendees/duration, it drafts 3-7 segments plus a small buffer and 1-2 coach tips per segment. In-call you’ll see a segment timer with Start / Skip / +2m.Reminders library.
Start with sensible defaults, then add your own reminders (name, trigger time, message, sound on/off). Admins can publish org-owned reminders teammates can use but can’t edit.Dashboard & analytics.
Weekly cards show meetings managed, hours in meetings, % on time, and overtime count - evidence you’re improving.Team & billing.
Invite teammates, enforce plan limits, and upgrade via Stripe in a couple of clicks.Privacy by design.
Least-privilege scopes; no audio/video capture. Store only agendas/outcomes/reminders, with one-click purge and EU/US data residency controls.
Why it’s different (vs a basic timer)
Outcomes, not just a clock. Shared timer plus guided transitions and last-two-minutes wrap cues mean you actually land owners & dates.
Team habits, standardized. Org templates and admin reminders make good behavior the default across the company.
LLM-ready agenda guidance. Agenda AI Assistant turns your invite into a realistic plan and helps you trade minutes or park topics when you’re over.
Evidence & oversight. Simple analytics show on-time rate and overtime trend-insight native Meet doesn’t provide.
Myth vs fact:
Myth: “A timer fixes meetings.”
Fact: A timer raises awareness, but without reminders, guided transitions, and wrap cues, people still overrun and decisions get rushed. Minute Minder addresses the social friction too.
Mini-use cases
Daily stand-ups (dev team). Shared timer + halftime card helps keep updates tight; wrap cue lands a single owner per blocker. Teams report shaving meaningful minutes off each day.
Client status calls (agency). Agenda AI Assistant drafts a 5-segment plan from the invite; a +2m nudge rescues scope creep without sounding harsh.
Workshops & classes. Equal timing for presenters; polite five-minute-left card avoids abrupt endings and keeps schedules intact.
Comparison snapshot
