Set the timer to 22 minutes

How to use the online timer

Most washing machines run their own clock, but setting 22 minutes as a backup means you're not stuck listening for the end buzzer from another room. Start it when you start the load, get on with something else around the house, and come back when it goes off instead of guessing whether the cycle's finished. It also works for the dryer, or for timing how long a stain needs to soak.

There's no setup beyond pressing Start, and the countdown handles the rest on its own from that point. Since it runs inside the browser, keep the tab open for the timer to keep an accurate count; you can switch to other tabs in the meantime, but closing this one out resets things. When the countdown hits zero, a sound plays so you're not stuck staring at the numbers.

There's something to be said for a timer that doesn't try to sell you a premium version or bury the start button behind ads you have to swipe past. This one lives in a browser tab, plain and straightforward, doing exactly what it says and nothing else. You can leave the tab minimised while you get on with things, and it'll keep counting until it's time to let you know. People type this as set timer 22 minutes or timer for 22 minutes; both land here and start the same count.

Common questions

Will the timer still run if my laptop goes to sleep?

No, if the device sleeps or the browser is suspended, the countdown pauses along with it, so keep your screen awake for an accurate result.

Is there a cost to use the timer?

No, it's free to use, with no registration, sign-up, or hidden limit on how many times you can run it.

Can I run more than one timer at once?

Yes, opening the page in separate tabs lets you track a few things at the same time, each counting down independently of the others.

Do I need to install anything to use the timer?

No. It runs straight in your browser, so there's nothing to download and no account to create.
