This timer counts down 20 seconds (20 seconds) and plays an alarm at zero. It is handy for handwashing (the usual advice is at least 20 seconds), a Tabata work interval, or a quick pose in a workout. It runs entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded.
Press Start on this page. The 20 second timer is already set to 00:20 and sounds an alarm when it reaches zero. Press Pause to stop it and Reset to start over.
Common uses are handwashing (the usual advice is at least 20 seconds), a Tabata work interval, or a quick pose in a workout.
Usually yes. The timer follows the clock, so it stays accurate in a background tab, and the remaining time shows in the tab title. Keep the page open until it finishes, because it cannot ring after you close it. Some browsers block sound until you have clicked on the page, which pressing Start counts as.
20 seconds are 20 seconds.
