A timer for cooking, workouts, exams and meetings
Pick a preset or enter any length up to 99 hours. The countdown runs against the clock, so it stays exact in a background tab and keeps going if you reload the page. When time is up the alarm beeps until you stop it, the page title flashes, and — if you allow notifications — your computer shows an alert even when the browser is minimized.
Links that start a timer
Add the time to the address to share or bookmark a timer: /countdown-timer?m=10 for ten minutes, ?s=90 for 90 seconds or ?h=1&m=30 for an hour and a half.
