Set the hours, minutes, and seconds using the input fields, or instantly set a time using the quick buttons (e.g., "5m", "1h"). Click the Start button (▶) to begin the countdown. An alarm will sound automatically when the time is up.
How to use the Stopwatch
Switch to the Stopwatch tab and click Start (▶). While it's running, you can click the Lap button (🏁) to record lap times and see the difference between each lap. Press the Stop button (■) when you're finished.
Handy Keyboard Shortcuts
Spacebar: Start / Stop
R: Reset the timer or stopwatch
L: Record a lap (Stopwatch mode only)
Will the alarm work in the background?
The countdown is corrected against the actual end time, but a browser cannot guarantee sound while a tab or mobile device is fully suspended. When you return, the page immediately reconciles the elapsed time and attempts the alarm. Keep the tab open and use a system alarm as a backup for anything critical.
