What is the 30 minute timer good for?

Thirty minutes is the default meeting length, a solid workout, and enough time to roast a tray of vegetables. This free 30 minute timer keeps all of them on track.

Use it for study blocks, exercise sessions, or cooking — anything where half an hour is the natural unit. The alarm means you never have to watch the clock.

30 Minute Timer questions

How do I start the 30 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.
