50 Minute Timer
This free 50 minute timer counts down 50 minutes (3,000 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.
Tap anywhere to turn the alarm sound back on.

How to use the 50 minute timer
Press Start
The timer is already set to 50 minutes. 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.
Adjust if you need to
Pause any time, press +1 min to add a minute, or change the time in the panel.
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 50 minute timer?
Press Start (or the space bar) on this page — the timer is already set to 50 minutes. When it reaches zero the alarm rings until you stop it or the ring time you chose runs out.
How many seconds are in 50 minutes?
50 minutes is 3,000 seconds, or 3,000,000 milliseconds.
Will the 50 minute 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.
