Multiple Timers
Give each timer a name and a length, start as many as you need and each one will sound when it reaches zero. Keep this page open while they run.
A single number means minutes, 1:30 means one minute thirty seconds, and 1h 15m means an hour and a quarter. The page must stay open and the device awake for the sound to play.

About Multiple Timers
Cooking a meal, timing a workout or splitting up a revision session often needs more than one timer at once. Here each timer has a name and its own countdown, so you can start the rice, the vegetables and the oven separately and see exactly how long each has left. Type a length such as 10, 1:30 or 1h 15m, press Start timer, and add as many as you need. Quick buttons set common lengths of one to thirty minutes.
A short sound plays repeatedly when a timer finishes, and it stays on screen as finished until you remove or restart it. The timers use the clock rather than counting seconds, so they stay accurate even if the page is in a background tab. They cannot run if the page is closed or the device sleeps, so keep the page open. Browsers often hold back sound until you have pressed a button on the page, so start your first timer with the button to allow it.
How to use Multiple Timers
- Type a name, if you want one, and a length.
- Press Start timer, or press a quick length button.
- Add more timers as you need them.
- When one finishes, press Silence to stop the sound, then Remove or Restart.

- Timing several dishes in the kitchen
- Interval training and rests

Frequently asked questions
How do I type a length?
A plain number means minutes. 1:30 is one minute thirty seconds, and 1:00:00 or 1h are one hour. 1h 15m is an hour and a quarter.
Will it work if I switch tabs?
Yes, the page keeps time by the clock. Sound may be quieter or delayed in some browsers, so keep the tab visible if it matters.
Why did I not hear the sound?
Check the volume and that the device is not muted. Browsers allow sound only after you have pressed a button, so start the timer with the button.
Is there a limit on how many timers?
No fixed limit, but each length must be 24 hours or less.
Does it keep running if I close the page?
No. The timers live on the page, so keep it open until they finish.
