How to use the online timer
You don't need an app with music and a voice guiding you through everything; sometimes 66 seconds of quiet and a plain countdown is all a short meditation needs. Set the timer, close your eyes, and let your mind wander back to your breath whenever it drifts instead of checking how much time is left. The silence at the end does more work than most guided sessions manage.
There's nothing to configure beyond tapping the button: press Start and the numbers begin ticking down straight away. The tab needs to stay open in your browser for the whole stretch, since closing it or switching the computer off stops the count, though you're free to switch to another tab and come back later. A clear alarm sounds the moment it hits zero, loud enough to notice from another room.
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 66 seconds, that works too — press Start and the page does the rest.
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.
