✦ Every length

Pick a timer.

Each one opens already set, so it is one click from here to counting. Bookmark the one you use and skip this page entirely.

✦ By what you are doing

What are you timing?

The same trustworthy countdown, set up for the job: a study session, a nap, a reading habit, a Tabata round.

Break Timer

Set a break, step away from the screen, and get an alarm when it is time to go back. Nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.

Study Timer

Pick a length, put your phone somewhere else, and study until the alarm. Built for revision sessions, homework and anything that needs you to stay put.

Exam Timer and Test Timer

Set the exam's real length, sit a past paper against it, and find out now whether you run out of time. Full screen puts it on the board for a whole class.

Nap Timer

Set a power nap, put the phone face down, and get an alarm that keeps going until you stop it. No app to install and no account.

Reading Timer

Set a reading session, read until the alarm, and stop there if you want to. The point is the daily habit, not the marathon.

Meditation Timer

Set a length, close your eyes, and a chime ends the session. No voice, no music and nothing to sign up for.

Practice Timer for Music and Skills

Set a practice session, work on one thing until the alarm, and stop while it is still going well. Built for instruments, and for any skill that improves with practice.

Speech Timer

Set the real length, rehearse against it, and find out now whether it runs long. Full screen turns a laptop into a clock you can read from the lectern.

Interval Timer

Set the work, the rest and the rounds, press start, and listen for the cues. A higher tone for work, a lower one for rest, and ticks for the last three seconds.

Tabata Timer

Set up for a classic Tabata round: 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest, 8 rounds. Press start and follow the tones.

HIIT Timer

Starts at 40 seconds of work and 20 of rest for 10 rounds. Change any of it, then follow the tones and keep your eyes on the workout.

Multiple Timers

Name each timer, set its length, and run them side by side. Each one starts, pauses and resets on its own, and chimes when it is done.

✦ More than one person

One countdown, sent as a link.

Two phones started ten seconds apart end ten seconds apart, and the difference always lands on whoever is speaking. A shared link puts everyone on one countdown instead: pause it and the whole room stops. Nobody signs in, and there is nothing to join.

✦ The timer itself

Most free timers are worse than they look.

An interval and a beep is the usual build, and an interval is the first thing a browser throttles when you switch tabs.

It cannot drift

The countdown is anchored to an absolute end time. Hidden tabs, throttled timers, a locked phone and a sleeping laptop all leave it correct.

Readable from a distance

Large digits and a ring that empties. Full screen makes it a wall clock for a classroom, a kitchen or the front of a room.

An alarm you will hear

Repeats rather than chiming once, with a browser notification if you allow one. Mute is one click.

Nothing in the way

No ads, no interstitial, no cookie wall before it will start, and no account for any of it.

Adjustable while it runs

Add a minute or five without restarting. Pause and resume from where you were. Switch length in one click.

Keeps working offline

Once the page has loaded, the countdown, the ring and the alarm all run locally.

✦ Why a productivity app made a timer

Because the timer is
the easiest part to get right.

A countdown is a small, honest tool. It says when to stop and nothing else, and it works whether or not you have a system. These pages are free and will stay that way.

EvyOS is what happens after the alarm. The same timer attached to a real task, a habit you are keeping or a skill you are logging hours against, sitting inside goals and projects that give the twenty-five minutes a reason to have existed. The sessions are counted instead of remembered, which is the difference between a day that felt busy and a month you can point at.

✦ Questions

Online timers, answered.

Yes. No account, no card, no download and no ads. EvyOS is a paid productivity app and these pages are how a lot of people meet it, which is exactly why the timer has to be good rather than crippled.
Yes. It counts to a real end time rather than adding up ticks, so a background tab, a minimised window, a locked phone or a sleeping laptop cannot make it drift. When you come back it already shows the correct remaining time, and the alarm still fires at zero.
Yes, and without anyone signing in. Create a shared countdown and send the link: every browser that opens it reads the same clock, so somebody joining late sees the time that is genuinely left rather than a fresh countdown. Whoever created it can pause, extend or reset for the whole room, and a device whose own clock is wrong still finishes with everybody else.
A countdown where the time left is a shape that shrinks rather than only digits. It reads at a glance and from a distance, which matters in a classroom, on a kitchen counter, and for anyone who does not carry a reliable sense of elapsed time. The ring on every page here is one, and full screen turns it into a wall clock.
Yes, a chime that repeats rather than sounding once, plus a browser notification if you allow one. Mute is a single click and the tab title counts down either way, so a silent timer is still a usable one.
No. It is a web page, so it runs in any browser on any device. If you use one length often, add that page to your home screen or bookmark it and it opens already set.

A timer counts minutes.
Something has to count the months.

Goals, projects, tasks, habits and skills in one system, with the sessions logged against the work they belonged to.
