Keep this page open. Switching away pauses the timer.

A LITTLE KNOW-HOW

Visual timer

A little time you can see.

Choose a duration and tap Start timer. The coloured disc gets smaller as time passes. A full disc represents your chosen duration; half a disc means half the time remains. Use it for a focused task, a classroom activity, or an everyday routine.

Make it your timer

Open Time & appearance to enter minutes and seconds, change the colour, hide the numbers, or turn off the finish chime. You can choose any duration from one second to two hours. Opening settings pauses a running timer. Set time and the quick presets reset the countdown; Pause and Resume keep your place.

Keep the page visible

Switching tabs or apps, locking the phone, opening help, or a long browser interruption pauses the timer. Return and tap Resume when ready. We request a screen wake lock where supported, but phone settings can still switch the screen off. This is a foreground countdown, not a dependable lock-screen alarm.

Sound and saved preferences

A single short chime can play when time runs out. Start the timer yourself and check your device volume; browser and audio settings may prevent sound. The finish message always appears. Your chosen duration, colour and display preferences can be saved in this browser. A timer never starts automatically after a reload.

For repeated work and rest rounds, try the Interval timer. For two players taking turns, use the Chess clock.
