Time counter with audio settings

An online timer for 8 minutes displays the entire remaining interval and allows you to accurately track the time. 8 minutes are converted to seconds automatically thanks to the built-in converter. The interface is simple: the Start, Pause and Reset buttons allow you to control the timer in one click. Full-screen mode helps you focus by hiding all the site elements. At the end of the countdown, a ringtone sounds — you can change the sound in the settings or turn it off completely.

The timer adapts to any device — it is equally convenient on a smartphone and on a laptop. Even if you switch to a different tab, the countdown remains accurate. The tab title shows the time until the end, which makes it easier to control when working with multiple windows.
