Timers for everyday use
Use a countdown timer for presentations, classrooms, exams, and cooking. The stopwatch tracks splits with laps. The Pomodoro timer helps you focus with structured work and break cycles. For workouts, the HIIT interval timer runs warm-up, work/rest rounds, and cool-down.
Everything runs in your browser. Fullscreen mode keeps digits readable on TVs, projectors, and phones.
Silent timing
Turn off sound when you need a discreet timer for talks, recording, or quiet rooms.
Study and focus
Use Pomodoro cycles to work in focused blocks with short breaks.
Workouts and intervals
Configure work/rest rounds and let the interval timer run the full session hands-free.
How it works
Everything runs locally in your browser tab. Each timer uses high-resolution timestamps to stay accurate, and it recalculates the correct remaining time after pauses or when your browser limits updates in the background.
- Countdown input formatsEnter ss, mm:ss, or h:mm:ss (for example 90, 05:00, 1:15:00). Presets are there if you just want to start fast.
- Stopwatch + lapsThe stopwatch tracks precise elapsed time. Tap Lap to record splits and see both lap time and total time.
- Pomodoro + HIIT auto-runsPomodoro cycles through work and break blocks. HIIT runs warm-up, work/rest rounds, then cool-down. Use Skip when you want to advance to the next phase.
- Fullscreen + keyboard controlEach timer supports fullscreen for visibility on TVs, projectors, or across a room. Click a timer display, then use Space (start/pause), R (reset), and F (fullscreen). Stopwatch adds L for lap, and Pomodoro/HIIT use N to skip.
Privacy note: No account, no setup. Timing stays in your browser tab and starts instantly.
Keyboard shortcuts
Click any timer card once to focus it, then use the keyboard to control it.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Space | Start or pause the focused timer card |
| R | Reset the focused timer |
| F | Toggle fullscreen on the focused display |
| L | Record a lap (Stopwatch) |
| N | Next or skip phase (Pomodoro and HIIT) |
Tip: if shortcuts do nothing, your cursor is probably inside an input. Click outside the input or press Escape, then try again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these timers accurate?
They are designed to avoid drift by tracking real elapsed time. For the most consistent display during events, keep the timer visible or use fullscreen.
Do timers keep working if I switch tabs or lock my phone?
Browsers can throttle updates in the background, but the timers keep tracking time and catch up when the page resumes.
How do I enter a custom countdown time?
Type seconds, mm:ss, or h:mm:ss in the countdown input, then press Set. You can also click a preset.
How do I make the timer silent?
Turn off Sound in the timer controls or mute your device. Silent mode is useful for meetings, classrooms, and recording.
