Countdown timer
Ready to start.
Keyboard: Space to start or pause (outside inputs), R to reset. Keep this tab open for the sound alert.
How to use the online timer
Choose a preset or enter the number of minutes and seconds, then select Start. Pause and resume without losing your remaining time. Reset returns the countdown to the last chosen duration.
Will the timer run in a background tab?
The countdown is based on elapsed clock time, so it catches up when you return to the tab. Browser restrictions may delay an audible alert while a background tab is suspended.
Does the timer need an account?
No. It runs in your browser without registration.
Try the stopwatch to count up instead, or event countdown for a future date.
