Timer & Stopwatch

Countdown timer and stopwatch in one place.

05:00

Set minutes/seconds and press Start.

What is this?

The Timer counts down from a set duration and alerts you with a sound and screen flash when it reaches zero. The Stopwatch counts up from zero and lets you record laps along the way. Useful for studying, workouts, cooking, and meeting time management.

How to use it

For the Timer, tap a preset (1/3/5/10 min) or enter minutes/seconds, then press Start. Use Pause to hold and Start again to resume; Reset restores the configured duration. A beep and screen flash play at zero.

For the Stopwatch, press Start to count up from zero, and Lap to record a split. Laps remain after stopping; Reset clears the time and all laps.

Note: Due to browser autoplay policy, the alert sound plays only after you have clicked Start at least once.
Real-world uses

Use the timer for focused study sessions (Pomodoro), workout intervals and rest periods, cooking times, or limiting a presentation or meeting. The stopwatch is handy for timing runs, laps in the pool, or how long a task takes.

FAQ

What's the difference between Timer and Stopwatch?
The Timer counts down from a set duration to zero, while the Stopwatch counts up from zero and keeps increasing. Use the Timer when you need an alert at a set time, and the Stopwatch to measure elapsed time or record split laps.
I can't hear the timer alert.
Browsers only allow sound playback after you've clicked a button on the page at least once. After pressing Start once, the alert sound will play normally. Also check your device's silent mode and the browser tab's mute setting.
How many laps can be recorded?
There is no fixed limit — laps keep recording until you stop the stopwatch or refresh the page. Scroll the list to see earlier laps once it grows long.
Is the time accurate if I switch tabs?
Yes. Remaining and elapsed time are calculated from the current timestamp (now), so even if the tab is in the background and screen updates are delayed, the actual elapsed time stays accurate.
