About

The free online timer that works everywhere

GlowClock's online timer runs entirely in your browser using your device's own clock — no server, no API, no network latency. It is as accurate as your device's system time, which is typically synchronised to internet time servers automatically.

The timer works on any device: desktop, laptop, tablet, phone or smart TV. Press F11 to go fullscreen for a large, room-filling display — used by teachers for classroom activities, trainers for gym intervals and professionals for Pomodoro focus sessions.

How to use the online timer

  1. 1 Enter your hours, minutes and seconds in the fields above (or use a preset below)
  2. 2 Press START to begin the countdown
  3. 3 Optionally press F11 for fullscreen mode
  4. 4 An audio alarm fires when the timer reaches zero — switch tabs freely in the meantime

What people use online timers for

Online timers are used across an enormous range of contexts. The most common are study and focus sessions (especially the 25-minute Pomodoro interval), cooking tasks, exercise intervals, classroom activities, meetings, meditation, and general task time-boxing.

Unlike phone timers, a browser-based online timer stays in your working environment — visible on the same screen as your work, without requiring you to pick up your phone.

FAQ

Online timer questions

Is GlowClock's online timer completely free?

Yes. Every tool on GlowClock is free with no subscription, no sign-up and no download. The timer, alarm clock, stopwatch and world clock are all accessible at glow-clock.com at no cost.

What is the maximum time I can set on the online timer?

The timer accepts any number of hours, minutes and seconds — there is no maximum. Enter the hours directly into the hours field for very long countdowns.

Can I use the online timer on my phone?

Yes. GlowClock works in any mobile browser. Open glow-clock.com in Chrome or Safari on your phone and use the Timer tab. Keep the browser tab open and your screen awake for the alarm to fire reliably on mobile.

What's the difference between a timer and a stopwatch?

A timer counts down from a set time to zero and alerts you — useful when you need to stop at a specific point. A stopwatch counts up from zero — useful when you need to measure how long something takes. GlowClock has both.

Can I run multiple timers at once?

You can open GlowClock in multiple browser tabs and run a different timer in each one simultaneously. This lets you track multiple countdowns at the same time.
