Timer

Set a countdown timer in minutes and seconds, watch the remaining time on a large display, and hear a beep when it reaches zero.

About Timer

A countdown timer counts from a set duration down to zero. This one takes minutes and seconds, shows the time left in large digits with a progress bar, and plays three short beeps at the end. The Pomodoro mode alternates 25 minutes of focus with 5 minute breaks, and every fourth break lasts 15 minutes. The timer runs only while this page stays open, and reloading the page resets it.

Also known as: Countdown Timer, Full Screen Countdown Timer, Visual Timer.

Questions about Timer

Does the timer keep counting if I switch to another tab?

Yes. The timer stores the clock time at which it should end and works out the remaining time from that, so the countdown stays accurate in a background tab. The beep may sound a moment late if the browser slows the tab down.

How does the Pomodoro mode work?

Each focus session is followed by a break, and the next phase is loaded when the beep sounds. You press Start to begin it. Focus and break lengths can be changed, but the break after every fourth session is fixed at 15 minutes.
