Everyday Timers
Countdown Timer
Pick a duration and it counts down to zero on a big, easy-to-read display — set the rounds and it repeats as many times as you like.
Pick a duration and it counts down to zero on a big, easy-to-read display — set the rounds and it repeats as many times as you like.
A 6 second timer for a slow breath out, a photo countdown, or any quick six-count — and it repeats as many times as you like.
An 8 second timer for a short pause, a held breath, or the famous eight-count — repeats as many times as you set.
A 12 second timer for a short rest, a held note, or a quick count — and it repeats for the rounds you set.
A 25 second timer — a little longer than the time to wash your hands, and a handy short countdown. Repeats as many times as you set.
A 30 second timer — for brushing each part of your teeth, a microwave, an elevator pitch, or a plank. Repeats as many times as you set.
A 45 second timer for a quick task, a presentation slide, a tidy-up countdown, or a plank. Repeats for your chosen rounds.
A 50 second timer — just under a minute, for a short task or countdown. Repeats as many times as you set.
A 70 second timer — one minute and ten seconds, for when a flat minute is not quite enough. Repeats as many times as you set.
A 75 second timer — a minute and a quarter, a useful in-between length. Repeats for your chosen rounds.
A 90 second timer — a common microwave time, 1.5 minutes for any task, and the classic rest between heavy sets. Repeats as needed.
A 2 minute 15 second timer — 2:15, for a recipe step, a steeping tea, or a focused window. Repeats as many times as you set.
A 2 minute 30 second timer — 2.5 minutes, for steeping tea, a recipe step, or a short meditation. Repeats as many times as you set.
A 3 minute 30 second timer — 3:30, about right for steeping black tea or the length of a song. Repeats as many times as you set.
A 4 minute 30 second timer — 4:30, roughly a song or a French press brew. Repeats as many times as you set.
An 18 minute timer — the length of a TED talk, and a tidy focus sprint. Repeats as many times as you set.
A 24 minute timer — about a sitcom with the ads cut out, or one long focus block. Repeats as many times as you set.
A 30 minute timer for cooking, a nap, a TV episode, study, or a parking meter. Repeats as many times as you set.
A 90 minute timer — a football match, a movie, or one full sleep cycle. Repeats if you need it to.
A countdown timer does one thing well: you give it a length of time, press start, and it counts down to zero — then a sound and a spoken alert tell you the moment it is done. There is no setup beyond choosing the duration, which is why it is the timer people reach for dozens of times a day, for cooking, study, games, workouts, and everything in between.
Every preset here runs entirely in your browser, with nothing to install and no account to create, on a big display you can read from across the room. Press start and go.
A countdown does not have to stop after one run. Open any preset in the editor and set the number of rounds, and the same block repeats — a 30-second countdown becomes the four quadrants of brushing your teeth, or ten rounds of an interval; a five-minute timer loops for the length of a chore. It turns a plain countdown into a simple repeating timer without building anything from scratch.
Because each round runs straight into the next with no gap, it suits anything you do in fixed, repeated stints. When you want rest between rounds instead, the workout timers — HIIT, Tabata, circuit — add a rest interval and count the rounds for you.
The presets cover the durations people search for most, from a six-second breath to a ninety-minute sleep cycle — including the in-between lengths a phone’s built-in timer makes fiddly to set, like 90 seconds, 2 minutes 30 seconds, or 4:30. Each one is a single tap to start.
None of them fits? Press “Build Your Countdown” to set any length down to the second, then save it or bookmark the page. The duration lives in the URL, so a timer you use often is always one click away.
