What is an Online Timer?
An Online Timer is a browser-based countdown tool that you can set for a specific duration in minutes and seconds. When the time runs out, it plays an alarm sound. It’s perfect for time-based activities where you need a reminder, such as workouts, study sessions, cooking, or presentations. Unlike a phone app, it requires no installation and can be used on any computer with an internet connection.
How to Use the Online Timer
Setting a timer is quick and easy:
- Set Duration: Enter the number of minutes you want the timer to run for. For example, to use the Pomodoro Technique, you would enter '25' for a 25-minute study session.
- Start the Timer: Click the 'Start' button. The countdown will begin immediately. You can pause and resume the timer at any time.
When the timer reaches zero, an alarm will sound. Make sure your device's volume is audible.
