Short and sharp

Thirty seconds is handy for a plank hold, a stretch, a quiz answer, a speaking turn or a quick game round. Tick Repeat to run it back to back.

For work and rest rounds, use the interval timer. For a bit longer, the 1 minute timer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I set 20 seconds?

Yes. Put 0 minutes and 20 seconds in the Custom boxes, then press Set.

Will it work if my screen locks or I close the tab?

Only while the page is open. The countdown keeps time from your device clock in a background tab, but phones and laptops can pause or silence web pages when they sleep, lock or close the tab. For anything that really matters, also set your device's own alarm.
