What does the Countdown Timer do?

Use quick presets (1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 25, 30 or 60 minutes) or enter hours, minutes and seconds — or switch to “Until a date & time” to count down to an exam, launch or event. The remaining time also shows in the browser tab title, so you can work in another tab.

When the timer ends it plays a short beep, can show a system notification (if you allow it) and vibrates on supported phones. Because time is calculated from the end timestamp, the countdown stays accurate even if the tab sleeps.

How to use the Countdown Timer

  1. Choose duration or date mode.
  2. Set the time or pick a preset.
  3. Choose sound and notification options.
  4. Click Start; pause or reset any time.
