Use Full screen on a supported browser to show the timer on a projector, smartboard or TV. Check the actual display before relying on it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I set a 2 hour timer?

This page is already set to 2 hours. Just press Start (or the space bar). To change the time, tap another length or type your own.

Will the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

The timer calculates the remaining time from an end time and can catch up after a delayed update. Browsers can throttle or suspend hidden pages, so an alarm may be delayed. Keep the timer visible and the device awake when timing matters; sleeping devices and closed tabs are not supported.
