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.

Press Voice control, allow microphone access, and say what you need. "Set a timer for ten minutes" starts a ten minute countdown. "Pause", "reset" and "stop" all work, and "stop" silences the alarm when it is ringing.

This matters most when your hands are busy. Cooking with wet hands, working with tools, mid workout, or teaching a class from across the room. Nothing is installed and no account is needed.

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
  • "clear all timers" removes any extra timers you stacked up
  • "full screen" makes the display fill the screen
  • EnterStart, from the duration box
  • SpaceStart or pause
  • LRecord a lap in stopwatch mode
  • RReset
  • EscSilence the alarm, or leave full screen

Which browsers support voice control?

Chrome, Edge and Safari. Firefox does not support the browser speech API, so the Voice control button hides itself there and everything else keeps working normally.

Does voice control stay on when I open another page?

Yes. Allow the microphone once and switch voice control on once, and it stays on across every page of the site, including pages opened in a new tab. It switches itself off after an hour of not being used, it never asks for permission on its own, and the button always shows whether it is listening, so one tap stops it.

Is my voice recorded or stored?

Not by this page. Speech is handled by your browser's own speech service, and this site keeps no recording and sends nothing to a server.

What exactly can I say?

Durations in hours, minutes or seconds, including spoken numbers like "twenty five minutes" and phrases like "half an hour". Also start, resume, pause, reset, stop, snooze, lap, stopwatch, intervals, full screen, and "clear all timers". Saying add, another or extra before a duration stacks a separate timer instead of changing the main one.
