Set the timer to 125 seconds

How to use the online timer

A quick tidy-up sprint works best with a limit, and 125 seconds is long enough to clear a bench or a lounge room without turning into a full afternoon of cleaning. Set the timer, pick one space, and move fast because you know exactly when you get to stop. It's a decent trick for getting started on a job that felt too big before you broke it down like this.

Press Start and it gets going immediately, no sign-up screen or settings menu standing in the way. The one thing to remember is that it counts down inside this browser tab, so it needs to stay open rather than closed or replaced by another site if you want an accurate result. A sound plays once the time is up, which is your cue that whatever you were timing is done.

A browser timer beats digging out the one kitchen timer that's always gone missing, and it's one less thing cluttering your phone alongside a dozen apps you barely open. Everything runs here in the tab, so there's no download, no account, and no permissions to grant before you can start it. Free, with no registration, it's ready the moment you load the page and gone the moment you close it. If you would rather say put a timer on for 125 seconds, that works too — press Start and the page does the rest.

Common questions

Can I use the timer on my phone?

Yes. It works in any mobile browser, though the tab still needs to stay open rather than sitting behind other apps for a reliable count.

Does the timer make a sound when it finishes?

Yes, an alarm plays once it reaches zero, provided your device's volume is turned up and the tab hasn't been muted.

Can I pause the timer partway through?

Yes, pause and resume are both available, so you can stop the count if you're interrupted and pick up again exactly where you left off.

Can I set a custom time instead of the preset?

Yes, most pages let you adjust the minutes and seconds directly, so you're not limited to the exact length shown in the page title.
