FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the countdown timer keep running in another tab?

The page calculates remaining time from a clock deadline. Background throttling or device sleep can delay updates and alerts. Keep the page open and test sound before relying on it.

Can I set a countdown longer than one hour?

Yes. Enter any combination of hours, minutes, and seconds, then start the timer. The quick presets are optional shortcuts.

Will the timer sound an alarm?

Yes. An audio alert plays when the countdown reaches zero. Make sure your device volume is on and the browser tab is allowed to play sound.

Is this countdown timer free?

Yes. It is free, requires no account, and runs directly in your browser.
