Frequently asked questions

Is this timer free to use?

Completely free. No registration, no download, no sign-up. It runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet, and desktop.

What is the difference between a timer and a countdown?

A timer counts down from a duration you choose, like 25 minutes. A countdown usually counts toward a fixed moment, like midnight on New Year’s Eve. This page does the first one; the New Year pages do the second.

Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. The remaining time is computed from a target timestamp, not from how many times the page has ticked, so switching tabs or locking the screen does not slow it down.

Does it have a sound alert?

Yes. Choose bell, chime, beep, or silent. The sound plays when the timer reaches zero. Browsers block audio until you interact with the page, so press Start once and the alert will work.

Can I use keyboard shortcuts?

Yes. Space starts and pauses, R resets, F toggles fullscreen, Esc leaves fullscreen, and S opens settings.

Can I use it fullscreen for a classroom or gym?

Yes. Press F or the fullscreen button and the digits scale to fill the screen, which is why the flip cards are large and high-contrast in the first place.
