What Is the Online Timer?
The online timer is an easy-to-use tool that counts down from any duration you set. You can start a timer in hours, minutes, or seconds quickly and easily from any computer or mobile device. Once the timer reaches zero, an alarm will sound.
If you need to count down to a specific date, use our online countdown timer instead.
How to Use the Online Timer
Using this browser-based timer app is easy, and you can start it in just a few simple steps:
- Set the number of Hours, Minutes, and Seconds you want the timer to run for, or choose a pre-selected minute or second timer from the options listed.
- Set your Alarm sound by clicking the arrow and selecting from the list.
- Add a Timer name or leave it as the default.
- Click Start Timer to begin your timer.
After setting it, your timer with alarm will begin counting down. On screen, you can see how much time is left and under it the exact finish time based on your browser's clock. While your timer clock is running, you can:
- Press Pause to temporarily stop your timer.
- Press Continue to continue your timer.
- Press Restart to reset the timer and start it again.
- Press Stop to end the current timer completely.
To create multiple timers, open a new tab and repeat these steps.

Why Use the Online Timer With Alarm?
Because this timer shows a large on-screen countdown, it is great for use in classrooms or to track time when cooking, studying, or practicing for an exam. The alarm is especially useful when you are focused on other tasks and need an audio reminder when time is up, just like an alarm clock but for timed intervals.
