Ready when you are
Free Online Cooking Timer
Set a countdown with quick kitchen presets, pause when you need to, and hear an alarm when time is up.
Set your timer
The countdown is saved in this browser so it can recover after an accidental refresh. Keep this tab open and your device volume on to hear the alarm.
Time remaining
00:00:00
Choose a duration, then start the timer.
Stay on track
A simple timer for everyday cooking
The countdown continues from a fixed finish time, helping it remain accurate when your browser reduces activity in a background tab.
Tip 02
Check your volume
Make sure the device is not muted. Browser settings and power-saving modes can prevent an alarm from playing.
Tip 03
Check food, not just time
A timer is a reminder, not a doneness test. Follow the recipe and use a thermometer for safety-sensitive dishes.
Useful beyond the oven
Use the quick presets for steeping tea, resting dough, simmering sauces, cooling bakes, or remembering the next stir. For longer recipes, enter hours, minutes, and seconds directly.
The remaining time also appears in the browser tab title while the timer runs, so you can keep an eye on it while reading another recipe.

What happens if I refresh?
The page saves the active or paused timer in local browser storage and restores it after a refresh.
Can I run several timers?
This page runs one timer at a time. Reset it before starting a different countdown.
