Question 1

Is this online timer free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it is completely free, with no ads and no account. Just open the page and set a time.

Question 2

Can I run more than one timer at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start as many timers as you like — each one counts down independently in the list, with its own controls.

Question 3

Does the countdown stay accurate if I switch tabs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The countdown is based on the real clock time, so it stays accurate even if you switch tabs or your device sleeps. Keep the tab open so the alarm can sound when the timer finishes.

Question 4

How do I set a custom time?

Accepted Answer

Type the digits — the field fills from the seconds and moves up into minutes and hours as you go. You can also tap a preset, a favorite, or use the on-screen keypad on mobile.

Question 5

Can I chain timers into a sequence?

Accepted Answer

Yes. "Build a sequence" lets you run several steps back-to-back — handy for interval workouts, Pomodoro focus/break cycles, or multi-step recipes.

Question 6

Can I use the timer in full screen?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Open any running timer in full screen for a large, distraction-free countdown — ideal for a classroom, presentation, or across-the-room view.

Question 7

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. The timer runs entirely in your web browser on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.
