A simple tool for second-hand monitoring

The 21-second online timer perfectly handles tasks that require a little more time, but are still short. After expiration, a custom beep is activated.

There is also a full-screen mode, which is especially useful in collaboration or when demonstrating at a distance.

You don't need to set anything: the timer opens and works in your browser, both on your computer and on your mobile device.

Why a 21 seconds timer is useful

A 21 seconds timer is often used to time a short interval for an exercise, a speed challenge, or a micro-break. It works for warm-ups, game answer time, short workouts, and reflex training. Everything runs directly in the browser, no apps to install.

How to use the 21 seconds timer

  1. Open the timer. Go to the 21 seconds timer page — it's ready to run right away, nothing to download.
  2. Start the countdown. Click the "Start" button — the timer counts down from 21 seconds to zero.
  3. Control as needed. Use "Pause" and "Reset" to stop or restart the timer at any time.
  4. Pick a sound. In settings, choose a suitable alarm sound and volume, or mute it entirely.
  5. Wait for the alert. When time is up, the selected sound plays. Remaining time also shows in the browser tab title so you won't miss the end.
