15 minute timer
No sign-up. No ads.

Set a timer for 15 minutes and get an alarm at zero. Free, instant, and no account required.

15 minutes remaining of 15 minutes

Keeps time in a background tab. Works on a phone. Share one countdown with a room if more than one person needs it.

15 minutes

Why fifteen minutes.

A quarter of an hour is the smallest unit most people can plan with. It is the length of a stand-up, a phone call you did not want to make, a HIIT session and the tidy-up before guests arrive. It is short enough to be honest about and long enough to matter.

✦ What it is for

What people set a 15 minute timer for.

The daily stand-up

Fifteen minutes is the whole point of the format. Put the clock where the room can see it.

The call you are avoiding

Cap it at fifteen before you dial. Knowing the end exists is usually what makes it possible to start.

A workout with no equipment

Fifteen minutes of intervals beats a forty-minute session you keep not doing.

Inbox triage

Not answering everything, just sorting it. Fifteen minutes, then stop whether or not it is empty.

Study blocks for shorter attention

Fifteen on, five off is a kinder cycle than twenty-five on for anybody whose focus arrives in bursts.

Baking and roasting checks

The interval most recipes ask you to check at, and the one most often forgotten.

✦ How to

How to set a 15 minute timer.

1

Open this page

It is already set to fifteen minutes, so there is nothing to type and nothing to choose. The timer is the first thing on the page.

2

Press start

The countdown begins immediately and the ring starts emptying. The tab title counts down too, so you can watch it from another tab.

3

Leave it running

Switch tabs, lock the phone, let the laptop sleep. It is counting to a fixed end time, not adding up ticks, so it stays correct.

4

Get the alarm at zero

A chime repeats until you stop it, and a browser notification arrives if you allowed one. Reset restarts the 15 minute timer, or switch to another length in one click.

✦ The timer itself

Built to be trusted, not just to tick.

Most free timers are an interval and a beep. Under a background tab, an interval is the first thing a browser throttles.

Accurate in a background tab

It counts to a real end time rather than adding up ticks, so a hidden tab, a locked phone or a sleeping laptop cannot make it drift. Come back and it already shows the right number.

A visual countdown

The ring empties as the time goes, which reads from across a room and suits anyone who does not carry an accurate sense of elapsed time. Full screen turns it into a wall clock.

An alarm that repeats

A chime at zero, repeated rather than sounded once, plus a browser notification if you allow one. Mute is a single click, and the tab title counts down either way.

No account, no ads, no tracking wall

Nothing here is gated. There is no interstitial before the timer starts and no video playing next to it.

Keeps the screen awake

While it runs it asks the browser not to dim the display, so a phone propped on a counter still shows the time left.

Adjustable mid-run

Add a minute or five without restarting, pause and resume where you left off, or switch to another length in one click.

✦ Other lengths

Need a different timer?

✦ More than one person

Timing a room, not just yourself?

Create a countdown, send the link, and every browser that opens it ends on the same second — with a pause that stops the whole room. Still no account, still nothing to install.

✦ After the alarm

A timer tells you when to stop.
It cannot tell you what it was for.

This page will still be here tomorrow, free, and for a lot of people that is the whole relationship. But a countdown is only the last five minutes of a decision that started somewhere else, and the useful question is not how long you sat down for. It is whether the sitting down added up to anything.

EvyOS is where that part lives. The same timer, attached to a real task, a habit you are keeping or a skill you are logging hours against, so a 15 minutes session becomes a record instead of a moment. Goals hold projects, projects hold tasks, and the practice you put in is counted rather than remembered.

Questions

15 minute timer, answered.

Press start; the page is already set to fifteen minutes. The presets below switch length in one click and the custom field takes any number of minutes.
No, closing the tab ends the timer, because the page is what is counting. Switching tabs, locking your phone or letting the screen sleep are all fine, and the timer asks the browser to keep the screen awake while it runs.
Yes. Add one minute or five minutes while it is running and the end moves rather than the countdown restarting.
Yes, a repeating chime at zero, plus a browser notification if you allow it. Mute is one click if you are somewhere quiet, and the tab title still counts down.
No. The timer is free and needs no account. EvyOS is the productivity app this is part of, and an account is only useful if you want a fifteen-minute session to count toward a task, a habit or a skill you are tracking.

The 15 minutes is the easy part.
Keeping the habit is not.

EvyOS holds the goals, projects, tasks, habits and skills the timer is in service of, and counts the sessions you actually did.
