How to use the 24 hour timer

  1. Press Start

    The timer is already set to 24 hours. Press Start or Space.

    The ring empties as time passes, and the tab title counts down with it so you can check from another tab.

  3. Adjust if you need to

    Pause any time, press +1 min to add a minute, or change the time in the panel.

  4. Stop the alarm

    At zero the alarm rings. Press Stop alarm or Esc, or +1 min to snooze.

One click starts the countdown — every preset rings an alarm, works full screen and keeps time in a background tab.

Frequently asked questions

How do I start a 24 hour timer?

Press Start (or the space bar) on this page — the timer is already set to 24 hours. When it reaches zero the alarm rings until you stop it or the ring time you chose runs out.

How many seconds are in 24 hours?

24 hours is 1,440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds.

Will the 24 hour timer ring if I switch tabs?

Yes. The alarm is scheduled ahead on your browser’s audio clock, so background-tab throttling cannot delay it. Turn on notifications in the panel to get a pop-up too. If you reload the page, it keeps counting from where it was.

Can I pause the timer or add more time?

Yes. Pause stops the countdown and Start resumes it. +1 min (or the + key) adds a minute, and after the alarm it starts a one-minute snooze. To set a different length, use the time boxes, the number pad, or one of the other quick timers.
