Why Use These Timers?
All timers on this site are completely free, work on desktop and mobile, require no account,
and contain no advertising. They are built as Progressive Web Apps (PWA), which means you
can install them to your home screen and use them offline just like a native app.
The displays are designed to be readable from across a room – large, high-contrast numbers
that fill the screen. Dark mode is on by default with a light mode toggle available.
