Countdown Timer

Start a countdown with preset lengths of 1, 3, 5, 10 or 25 minutes. Pause and resume anytime, and hear a short chime when time runs out.

About Countdown Timer

A simple countdown timer for cooking, workouts, short breaks or focused work sessions. Choose one of the preset durations of 1, 3, 5, 10 or 25 minutes, then press Start Timer. The display counts down in minutes and seconds.

Press the same button to pause and again to continue. Reset returns the timer to 5 minutes. When the countdown reaches zero, the page plays a short two-note chime and shows a message. Keep the tab open while the timer runs, since closing the page stops it. The timer runs entirely on the page, so no account or installation is needed.

How to use it

  1. Click a preset such as 5m or 25m to set the duration.
  2. Press Start Timer to begin the countdown.
  3. Press Pause to stop temporarily and press it again to continue.
  4. Wait for the chime, or press Reset to go back to 5 minutes.

Questions

Can I set a custom time?

Not at the moment. Choose one of the presets: 1, 3, 5, 10 or 25 minutes.

Will I be alerted when it ends?

Yes. A short chime plays through your speakers and a message appears on the page, as long as the tab is still open.
