When to use online timer
Use a short timer for a work interval, a stretch break or an activity round. Choose the duration before starting and keep the remaining time visible. The countdown calculates against a timestamp rather than subtracting one second per callback, so delayed browser updates do not accumulate timing drift.
How it works
- Set minutes and seconds.
- Start, pause or reset the countdown.
- Keep the tab open and enable sound if you want an alert.

Before you export or rely on the result
Browsers can suspend background tabs or block audio. This is not a guaranteed alarm for a critical task. Sound requires an interaction with the page.
