The Ultimate Online Countdown Timer for Focus & Efficiency
While your phone has a timer, using it often leads to distraction—one glance at a notification and your focus is broken. The Xclock Online Timer is designed to keep you on task directly from your desktop or laptop. It is the ideal tool for anyone needing a dedicated, large-display countdown without the clutter of mobile apps.
Boost Productivity with the Pomodoro Technique
Struggling to stay focused? This timer is perfect for the Pomodoro Technique, a proven time-management method.
- Set a timer for 25 minutes and work with intense focus.
- When the alarm sounds, take a 5-minute break.
- Repeat this cycle to maintain high mental energy throughout the day. Because Xclock runs in your browser tab, you can keep it visible while you work or let it run in the background while you focus on your tasks.
A Multi-Timer for the Kitchen & Gym
One timer isn’t always enough. Whether you are cooking a complex meal or managing a circuit workout, Xclock allows you to run Multiple Timers simultaneously.
- For Chefs: Set one timer for the pasta (10 minutes) and another for the chicken in the oven (45 minutes). Label them mentally and never burn a meal again.
- For Fitness: Create a custom interval timer for your HIIT workouts. Set a 60-second countdown for exercise and a 20-second countdown for rest.
Reliable, Loud, and Private
We built Xclock to solve the biggest annoyances of other web timers:
- Background Play: Feel free to switch tabs or minimize the window. Our timer continues to count down and will play the audio alert precisely when time is up.
- No Data Collection: Unlike free timer apps that track your location or sell your data, Xclock runs entirely locally. Your timing habits are your business.
- Custom Audio: Choose an alarm sound that fits your environment—loud enough to hear from the next room, or subtle enough for a library or office.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set a timer for more than 24 hours? Yes. You can input any duration into the minute and second fields. The timer will accurately count down long durations, making it suitable for scientific experiments or long-term brewing projects.
Does the timer work if my computer goes to sleep? Most modern browsers will pause active scripts to save energy when the computer sleeps. For long timers, we recommend adjusting your computer’s power settings to prevent it from sleeping, or simply keeping the screen active.
