What's the maximum time I can set?

You can set a maximum of 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds on our countdown timer. This allows for timing virtually any activity, from quick tasks to day-long events.

Does the timer work if I close my browser?

The timer will continue running in the background if you switch tabs, but if you close your browser completely, the timer will stop. For best results, keep the timer tab open during your timed activity.

How accurate is the countdown timer?

Our countdown timer is highly accurate for everyday use, as it's based on your device's system clock. While no online timer can guarantee atomic-clock precision, it's more than accurate enough for typical timing needs like cooking, exercising, studying, or work sessions.
