Multi-Countdown Timer

Run multiple countdown timers simultaneously. Set hours, minutes, and seconds for each timer, name them, and control each one independently with start, pause, resume, and reset. Visual progress bars and browser notifications ensure you never miss a completion - all running locally in your browser with no signup required.

Features

Everything you need to manage multiple countdown timers at once.

Multiple Simultaneous Timers

Run any number of countdown timers at the same time. Each timer runs independently with its own progress tracking and controls.

Independent Controls

Start, pause, resume, or reset each timer individually. Never lose your place - paused timers remember their remaining time.

Browser Notifications

Get notified when a timer completes, even if you're on a different tab. Optional audio cues play when time runs out.

Visual Progress Bars

Each timer shows a real-time progress bar so you can see at a glance how much time is remaining. Running, paused, and completed states are clearly indicated.

Use Cases

Common scenarios for running multiple countdown timers.

Cooking & Kitchen Timers

Run multiple kitchen timers simultaneously - one for the oven, one for the stovetop, and one for resting time. Name each timer so you know what it's for.

Workout & Exercise Intervals

Set timers for warm-up, exercise rounds, rest periods, and cool-down. Start them all at once and let each count down independently.

Meeting & Presentation Timing

Track multiple agenda items during a meeting or presentation. Set separate timers for each speaker or topic and manage time effectively.

Household Task Reminders

Set countdowns for laundry cycles, dishwasher runs, brewing tea, or any timed household task. Visual progress bars show time remaining at a glance.

Study Session Management

Use the Pomodoro technique or custom study intervals. Run multiple timers for different subjects or break periods simultaneously.

Productivity & Focus Sessions

Set timers for focused work blocks, short breaks, and long breaks. Run all your productivity timers from one screen without switching apps.

About

How the Multi-Countdown Timer helps you manage time effectively.

What Is a Multi-Countdown Timer?

A multi-countdown timer lets you create and run multiple countdown timers at the same time. Unlike a single timer, this tool allows you to name each timer, set different durations, and control each one independently - start, pause, resume, reset, or delete them individually.

How Timers Run Independently

Each timer has its own internal interval that runs independently of others. This means you can start timers at different times, pause one while others keep running, and reset one without affecting any others. The progress bar updates in real time for each timer.

Browser Notifications & Audio Alerts

When a timer completes, it plays a short audio tone using the Web Audio API. If you grant notification permission, a browser notification will also fire - even if this browser tab isn't active. This ensures you never miss a timer completion.

Data Persistence & Privacy

All timers and their state are saved to your browser's localStorage. Timer state (including remaining time) persists across page reloads, though running timers are paused on reload for accuracy. Nothing is sent to any server.
