What is the 15 minute timer good for?
Fifteen minutes is the ideal power nap: long enough to refresh, short enough to avoid grogginess. This free 15 minute timer wakes you right on time.
It is also the standard length for daily standup meetings, 15-minute cleaning sprints, and steeping large pots of tea. Set it and forget it — the alarm has you covered.

15 Minute Timer questions
How do I start the 15 minute timer?
Press the Start button and the countdown begins immediately. You can pause and resume at any point, or reset to start over.
Will the alarm sound if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer is driven by your device clock rather than the animation, so it keeps accurate time in background tabs. Keep the page open and make sure your device volume is on to hear the alarm.
Can I pause and resume the timer?
Yes — the Start button becomes Pause while running, and Resume when paused. Reset returns the timer to its full duration.
Is this timer free to use?
Completely free, with no account or signup. It runs entirely in your browser.
