Countdown Timer for Productivity
The Pomodoro Technique uses 25-minute focused work sessions followed by 5-minute breaks. After four pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break. This countdown timer makes it easy to implement — just click the "25 min" preset to start a pomodoro session. Research shows that time-boxing tasks improves focus and reduces procrastination.

Whether you are boiling eggs (10 minutes), steeping tea (3-5 minutes), or baking (set your recipe time), a countdown timer ensures perfect results. This timer runs in your browser tab and will sound an alarm when done — so you can multitask while your timer counts down.
Countdown Timer for Exercise
Use this timer for HIIT workouts, plank holds, rest periods between sets, and yoga poses. The large display is easy to read from across the room, and the progress ring gives you a visual sense of how much time remains.
