Ultimate Online Timer, Countdown & Alarm Clock

Why Use Our Online Timer App?

This versatile web application combines three essential timing tools into one easy-to-use interface: a precise online timer (stopwatch), a flexible online countdown timer, and a reliable web alarm clock. It's designed to be your go-to timing solution, accessible from any device with a web browser, running completely locally for your privacy.

Use Cases:

• Cooking & Kitchen Timer: Never burn your food again! Use the countdown timer for precise cooking times – perfect as an online egg timer or for tracking baking durations.
• Study & Work (Pomodoro Timer): Boost productivity by using the countdown timer for focused work sessions (like the Pomodoro Technique - try the 25min preset!) followed by short breaks tracked with the timer/stopwatch.
• Workouts & Exercise: Time your exercises, rest periods, or entire workout duration using the stopwatch or set interval countdowns for HIIT.
• Presentations & Meetings: Keep track of your speaking time with the simple online stopwatch or set a countdown to know when your time is up.
• Games & Activities: Time board games, quizzes, or any activity needing accurate timing.
• Wake-up or Reminders: Use the web alarm clock feature to set reminders for tasks or even as a basic online alarm clock (requires the browser tab to remain open).

Key Features:

• Timer / Stopwatch: Counts up from zero. Ideal for measuring elapsed time accurately.
• Countdown Timer: Set hours, minutes, and seconds and count down to zero. Includes an audible alert upon completion. Use presets for common durations.
• Alarm Clock: Set a specific time for an alarm notification and sound.
• Dark Mode: Switch to a darker theme for comfortable viewing in low-light conditions.
• Full Screen Mode: Focus entirely on the time without distractions.
• Sound Alerts: Audible notifications for countdown completion and alarms (ensure your volume is on!).
• Persistent: Remembers your timer/countdown state and dark mode preference even if you reload the page (using your browser's local storage).
• Privacy Focused: Runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent to external servers.
• Locally Hosted: All fonts and icons are loaded locally, respecting your privacy and ensuring GDPR compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: Is this online timer free to use?
A: Yes, this web timer application is completely free to use.

Q: Does the alarm work if I close the browser tab?
A: No, the browser tab containing the timer app must remain open for the countdown and alarm alerts to function correctly. Background tabs might work depending on browser settings, but keeping it visible is recommended.

Q: Can I use this timer offline?
A: Yes! Once the page is loaded, the core timing functions (timer, countdown, alarm logic) work entirely offline as they run in your browser using JavaScript. You only need an internet connection to load the page initially.

Q: How accurate is the timer?
A: The timer relies on your browser's internal clock and JavaScript execution, which is generally accurate for most common uses. However, browser throttling (especially for background tabs) or high system load might slightly affect precision over very long durations.

Q: How can I be sure this respects my privacy?
A: This tool is designed with privacy in mind. All calculations happen directly in your browser (client-side). No timing data, settings, or personal information are sent to any server. The use of local fonts and icons avoids external tracking.
