An easy way to keep track of time

A 5-minute timer counts down the time and clearly shows how much time is left until the end. Thanks to the built-in converter, you will immediately see the conversion of 5 minutes to seconds. The interface is intuitive — the Start, Pause and Reset buttons allow you to quickly respond to the situation. If necessary, you can expand the timer to full screen so that you can see it even from a distance. At the end of the countdown, the selected melody turns on — various signal options and volume control are available in the menu.

For ease of use, the timer adapts to any screen — whether it's a phone, tablet, or laptop. It continues to work even when switching between tabs, without getting lost or losing accuracy. The browser header displays the remaining time, allowing you to control the timer without being distracted from current tasks.
