About setTimerNow

setTimerNow is a small collection of free countdown timers. No account, no app, no ads blocking the timer itself — just open a page and press start.

Why we built this

Most timer sites bury the actual timer under a wall of ads, autoplay video, or a sign-up wall. We wanted the opposite: the timer is the first thing you see, and it works the same on a phone or a laptop.

How it works

Every countdown runs in your browser using your device's clock, so it stays accurate even if the tab is in the background. When it reaches zero, it plays an alarm sound and updates the tab title so you can tell at a glance, even from another window.
