Countdown timer

When time is up, the fun begins.

How to use

Count down games, discussions and events using presets or a custom number of seconds. Pause, resume, reset and optionally play a sound. Refreshing or changing pages calculates the time left from the original deadline.

Start in three steps

  1. Choose 1, 3 or 5 minutes, or enter an integer from 1 to 86,400 seconds. Choose whether to play a sound.
  2. Select Start countdown, then pause or resume as needed. Reset before changing the duration of a running or paused timer.
  3. When time is up, go again or select Reset timer to prepare a new round.
