Timer is a free online tool that provides stopwatch and countdown functions for accurate time measurement. Useful for managing focus time with the Pomodoro technique while studying, measuring rest intervals between exercise sets, checking cooking times, and various other activities.

In Stopwatch mode, you can measure and record elapsed time, while in Timer mode, set a desired time and an alarm will sound after the countdown. With a simple and intuitive interface, anyone can easily use it, and it works directly in the browser without installing a separate app.

Instruction

Precision Timer, Stopwatch & Alarm

The Timer tool is a versatile time management suite designed to boost productivity, track athletic performance, and manage daily tasks. It integrates three distinct time-keeping utilities into one responsive interface.

Productivity Methodology

This tool is optimized for the Pomodoro Technique. By setting the countdown timer to 25 minutes, you can focus on deep work, followed by a 5-minute break. This cycle is scientifically proven to maintain high cognitive performance while preventing mental fatigue. The audio alert ensures you know exactly when to switch contexts.

Feature Breakdown

  • Stopwatch: A high-resolution counter suitable for sports or benchmarks. It includes 'Lap' functionality, allowing you to record split times (e.g., Time for Lap 1, Lap 2) without pausing the total elapsed time. Ideal for runners or measuring code execution speed.
  • Countdown Timer: Set a specific duration (HH:MM:SS) and count down to zero. Features include a visual progress ring and customizable alarm sounds.
  • Smart Persistence: Browsers often throttle background tabs to save battery, which can cause web-based timers to drift or stop. Malangdows uses advanced state tracking (saving the target timestamp) to ensure that even if you close the browser and reopen it, the timer accounts for the elapsed real-world time correctly.

Technical Integrity

Instead of relying solely on unreliable `setInterval`, this tool synchronizes with the system clock (`Date.now()`) on every frame update request. This guarantees that a 60-minute timer finishes in exactly 60 minutes, regardless of lag or CPU load.
