  2. Press Start (or the space bar).
  3. Stop the alarm when it rings, or restart with one click.

When it helps

  • Timing exams, presentations and cooking.
  • Classroom activities and breaks.
  • Workouts and stretching intervals.

Questions

Will the timer keep running in a background tab?

Yes. It measures real elapsed time, so it stays accurate even if the browser slows down background tabs.

Can I link to a specific timer?

Yes. Add ?m=15 to the address for a 15 minute timer, or ?s=90 for 90 seconds.
