How to use the online timer
Tracking a 157 minutes shift with a running timer helps more than watching the clock, especially near the end when every minute seems to slow down. Start it when you clock on, glance over now and then to see where you're at, and leave the tab open in the background while you get on with the job. It won't make the shift shorter, just easier to pace.
Getting started takes one click: press Start and the countdown begins straight away, with pause and reset both on hand if you need to adjust on the fly. Because it's running in your browser, the tab has to stay open for the whole time; minimising the window is fine, but closing it or shutting your device down will stop the clock. A sound plays at the end so you know.
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. Set a timer for 157 minutes, set the timer to 157 minutes, start a 157 minutes timer — it is the same countdown either way.
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.
