Keeps exact time when you switch tabs, and says if it ended while you were away. Keep this page open for the sound, especially on a phone, where browsers may pause a page in the background.

How it works and help
Sounds are made in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere. A running timer is kept only for this tab, so a reload carries on.

A little help along the way

Follow these steps. Every option is explained underneath. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.

  3. Press StartThe sound is set when you press Start. Pause, carry on, add a minute or reset at any time.
  4. Hear it endIt rings at the end and says when it finished, even if you looked away.

Questions people ask

Does it keep time if I switch tabs?
Yes. It keeps the moment it started rather than counting ticks, so it shows the right time when you come back, and says if it ended while you were away.
Will it ring if the tab is in the background?
The sound is set on your device's sound clock when you press Start. Browsers can still pause a page in the background, especially on phones, so keep the page open when the sound matters.
How long can it count down?
From one second up to 24 hours. Choose a common length or Your own for hours, minutes and seconds.
