Set the timer to 34 seconds

00:00:00

How to use the online timer

Cold exposure only needs to be brief to count, and 34 seconds is a realistic target if you're easing into cold showers or a quick ice bath rather than chasing a personal record. Start the clock as soon as the cold hits, breathe through it instead of watching the screen, and get out the second it beeps. Short, sharp, and over before your brain talks you out of it.

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.

A mechanical timer needs to be wound and a phone timer needs the phone unlocked, but this one just needs the page you already have open. It sits inside your browser, ready whenever you are, and it's the same tool whether you're on a laptop or a tablet in the kitchen. Free, with nothing to install or sign into, it's built to get out of your way and count. If you would rather say put a timer on for 34 seconds, that works too — press Start and the page does the rest.

Common questions

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.

Does the timer work without an internet connection?

The page needs to load once, but the countdown itself runs locally in your browser, so a dropped connection partway through won't stop it.
