About this tool
The timer uses the clock rather than counting ticks, so it stays accurate even when the tab is in the background. The page title shows the time left, so you can see it from another tab.
Good to know: The alert sound needs you to have pressed Start on the page first, because browsers block sound until you interact. A phone that locks its screen may pause the page. The longest timer is 99 hours.

Frequently asked questions
Will I hear the alert if I switch tabs?
Yes, in most browsers. The page title also shows the time left, and you can turn on a notification.
Can I count down to a date?

Why was there no sound?
Browsers only allow sound after you have interacted with the page. Press Start first, and check your device volume.
