45 Second Timer

This free 45 second timer counts down 45 seconds (45 seconds) and rings an alarm at zero. It is already set — press Start or the space bar and it begins. It keeps time in a background tab, and full screen makes the digits big enough to read across a room.

What is a 45 second timer good for?

Forty-five seconds is a favourite work interval in circuit training: long enough to tire the muscles, short enough to keep good form all the way through.

  • Circuit-training stations (45 seconds work, 15 seconds rest)
  • Timed answers in debates and mock interviews
  • Holding yoga poses
  • Short bursts in the microwave

  1. Press Start

    The timer is already set to 45 seconds. Press Start or Space.

  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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I start a 45 second timer?

Press Start (or the space bar) on this page — the timer is already set to 45 seconds. When it reaches zero the alarm rings until you stop it or the ring time you chose runs out.

How many minutes is 45 seconds?

45 seconds is 0.75 minutes, or 45,000 milliseconds.

Will the 45 second 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.
