Online Timer

Set a countdown, press start, and hear an alarm when time is up.

00:00
Ready

Press the space bar to start or pause. Keep this tab open: the countdown also shows in the tab title.

How to use the timer

Type the hours, minutes and seconds, then press Start, or tap a preset to start straight away. Pause stops the clock and Resume carries on from where it left off. The remaining time also appears in your browser tab title, so you can watch it from another tab.

Alarm and sound

The alarm beeps when time is up. Your browser only allows sound after you have pressed a button on the page, so start the timer yourself rather than reloading the page. Untick the sound box for a silent timer. Turn up your volume and keep the tab open, because phones may pause timers in the background.

Frequently asked questions

Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes, it keeps the correct time even in the background. Some phones may delay the sound, so keep the page open when it matters.

Why is there no sound?

Browsers block sound until you interact with the page. Press Start yourself, make sure the sound box is ticked and your volume is up.

Is it accurate?

It compares the clock to the end time rather than counting ticks, so it does not drift.
