Countdown Timer

Set a countdown in hours, minutes and seconds or to any date — with an alarm sound and the time left in the tab title.

How do I set an online countdown timer?

Enter hours, minutes and seconds — or pick a date and time to count down to — add an optional label and press Start. The big display and progress bar show the time left, the browser tab title shows it too, and an alarm sounds when the countdown reaches zero.

Ideas

Cooking, tea and workout intervals.
Exam, meeting and presentation time limits.
Counting down to a launch, a holiday or New Year.

Keep the tab open; the timer keeps time accurately even in the background, and the tab title shows when time is up.
