5 Minute Timer

Frequently asked questions
How do I use the timer?
Enter minutes and seconds, then select Start. Pause keeps the time remaining; Reset restores the selected duration. Preset pages provide common durations.
Does the alarm work in a background tab?
The timer uses an absolute deadline, so background throttling does not add time. Audio requires starting the timer yourself. A sleeping device or a suspended browser can delay the alarm until it wakes.
Will my timer survive a page reload?
When localStorage is available, the selected duration and deadline are saved on this device. No account or cookies are required. Keep the page open for an audible alarm.
