Precise time control in the browser

An online timer for 3 minutes shows the remaining time on the screen and helps you focus on the task at hand. The built-in calculator automatically calculates the duration of 3 minutes in seconds. Convenient operation allows you to instantly start, pause or reset the timer. If necessary, you can expand it to full screen, hiding all minor elements of the site. At the end, the selected melody turns on — you can adjust the volume or completely mute the sound.

The counter interface adapts to any device — it is equally convenient to use it on a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Even when switching to another tab, the timer continues to count down the minutes exactly to zero, and the current end time is displayed in the tab title, which is convenient when working in parallel.
