Online timer

A countdown timer for anything from a one-minute break to a long bake. Set the time, press Start and a soft chime tells you when it’s done.

How to use it

  1. Pick a preset, or tap the time on the dial and type hours, minutes and seconds.
  2. Press Start or Space. Press again to pause, and R to reset.
  3. Press F for full screen. The browser tab also shows the time left.
  4. Press Change Timer or D to pick a face: a classic dial, an hourglass, a flip clock, a glass of water and more. Timestre remembers your choice.

Several steps in a row

Use the Sequence page to run stages one after another, such as warm-up, work and rest. Each stage can chime when it ends, and you can save sequences to use again.

Good for

  • Cooking and household tasks.
  • Timed tests, presentations and meetings.
  • Short breaks away from the screen.

Questions and answers

Will I hear it if I switch tabs?

Yes, as long as the Timestre tab stays open and your sound is on. You can check the chime with Test sound in Settings.

What happens if I reload the page?

A running timer is remembered, so it keeps counting from the right time when the page opens again.
