The button above opens timerz at 60:00 over the Under the sea scene. Press Space to start.
One hour is an exam simulation, a gym session, a long writing sprint, or a limit on something that tends to eat the evening. It is also a good cap for meetings that have a way of running over.
For an hour of study, many people prefer two 25 minute pomodoros with a break in between. If you want one uninterrupted hour, this countdown runs it; the tab title keeps the remaining time visible while you work elsewhere.
How to use it
- Open the timer with the button at the top of this page. It starts paused at 60:00.
- Press Space or the play button to start, and Space again to pause.
- Turn on ambient sounds with A, or pick music from YouTube in the music panel.
- When it ends, the chime plays and the tab title blinks until you come back. Press Space to run it again.
Questions
Does the timer keep counting if my laptop sleeps?
Yes. timerz stores when the timer started and derives the remaining time from the clock, so after a sleep or a reload it shows the right time and, if the hour has passed, marks it as done.
Is timerz free?
Yes. Every scene, sound and feature is free, with no account and no ads. If it helps you, you can leave a tip on Ko-fi, or become a supporter once (pay what you want, from 5 dollars, on Gumroad) to unlock your own photo as a scene and two extra fonts. There is no subscription.
Does timerz work offline?
Yes. timerz is a progressive web app. After the first visit the app, its scenes and sounds are cached, and you can install it on your desktop or phone. Only the YouTube music needs internet.
Where is my data stored?
In your browser, using localStorage. Settings, tasks and session history never leave your device. There is no server and nothing to sign up for. You can export your history as JSON or erase everything from settings.
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer stores when it started and derives the remaining time from the clock, so a background tab, a sleeping laptop or a page reload do not make it drift. The remaining time also shows in the tab title.
