What it does

This tool combines a countdown timer and a stopwatch in one. The timer counts down from a time you set and sounds an alarm when it finishes; the stopwatch counts up and records laps.

It covers the everyday timing jobs: cooking and baking, workout intervals and rest periods, a Pomodoro focus session, timing a presentation or a speech, or a board-game turn.

Everything runs in your browser and nothing is saved or uploaded, so just make sure the tab is not muted if you want to hear the alarm.

Using the timer

For the timer, set hours, minutes and seconds and start the countdown. When it reaches zero a short beep plays and the display highlights, so you notice even if you have looked away.

Using the stopwatch and laps

The stopwatch counts up from zero, and the lap button records the current time without stopping, so you can capture split times, one per lap, listed below the clock.

Accuracy in background tabs

Times are tracked from precise timestamps rather than a simple counter, so they stay accurate even if the tab is inactive for a while. Background tabs may update the display less often, but the elapsed time stays correct when you return.

Frequently asked questions

Does the alarm sound when the timer ends?

Yes. When the countdown reaches zero, a short beep plays and the display highlights. The sound uses your browser's audio, so make sure the tab is not muted.

Does it keep running if I switch tabs?

The time is tracked from timestamps, so it stays accurate when you return to the tab. Background tabs may update the display less often, but the elapsed time is correct.

What is the lap button for?

In stopwatch mode, Lap records the current time without stopping, so you can capture split times. Each lap is listed below the clock.

Is anything saved or uploaded?

No. The timer and stopwatch run entirely in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.

Can I use it as a Pomodoro timer?

Yes. Set the countdown to your focus length, such as 25 minutes, and the alarm tells you when to take a break, then set it again for the break.
