Sound | Label | Sharing

Turning this on asks your browser for permission once.

Paste that anywhere HTML is allowed. Free to use, no attribution required.

The countdown is anchored to a finish time, so it stays exact even if the tab is in the background. Press Test sound once so the browser lets audio play. Space starts and pauses, L takes a lap, R resets.

Short version: this timer keeps your settings on your own device and sends nothing about you to me. There is no account, no login, and no profile.

What stays on your device

Your chosen alarm sound, volume, label, last used duration, interval settings and your last five timers are saved in your browser's own storage. So is whether you switched voice control on. None of it leaves your device, I cannot see any of it, and clearing your browser data erases all of it.

The microphone

Voice control only runs when you switch it on. Speech is handled by your own browser's speech service, not by this site. Nothing is recorded here and no audio is stored or sent to me. In Chrome and Edge that speech service is Google's, so audio goes to Google while you are actively using voice control, exactly as it would on any site using the browser's speech feature. Switch voice control off and none of that happens.

Fonts

The page loads two typefaces from Google Fonts, which means Google sees the request. If that matters to you, the fonts can be served from this site instead.

Advertising

There are no ads on this site. If that ever changes, this page and the changelog will say so before it happens.

What I do not do

No analytics on individual people, no tracking pixels of my own, no selling or sharing of anything, no email list, no fingerprinting.

Children

This is a general purpose utility and is not directed at children.

Changes and contact

If this ever changes, the change will appear in the changelog. Questions go to hello@voicetimeronline.com.

A free online timer, stopwatch and countdown clock that runs entirely in your browser. No account, nothing to install.

It keeps working offline once loaded, and you can add it to your home screen like an app. Your settings stay in your own browser.

Press Voice control and allow microphone access, then speak normally. Your speech is handled by your browser's own speech service, and nothing is stored by this page. Allow the microphone once and switch this on once, and it stays on as you move around the whole site, in this tab or a new one. It switches itself off after an hour of not being used. The button always shows whether it is listening, and tapping it stops it for good.

  • "set a timer for ten minutes" starts a ten minute countdown
  • "five minutes thirty seconds" any duration, in hours, minutes or seconds
  • "half an hour" and "a minute and a half" are understood too
  • "start" or "resume" starts or continues the current timer
  • "pause" holds it where it is
  • "reset" clears it back to the set time
  • "stop" silences the alarm when it is ringing
  • "snooze" gives you five more minutes
  • "stopwatch" switches to the stopwatch, "lap" records a lap
  • "intervals" switches to the interval timer
  • "add five minutes" creates an extra timer alongside the first. It only stacks a timer when you say add, another or extra, so "ten second timer" sets the main one

  • "full screen" makes the display fill the screen
  • EnterStart, from the duration box
  • SpaceStart or pause
