Visual countdown

A 498-second timer will help you accurately measure the time for meditation, breathing exercises, or short work sessions. A custom audio signal will indicate the end of the countdown, and its volume can be adjusted to suit your environment.

Full-screen mode helps you see numbers better and avoid getting distracted by interface details. This is especially useful for group sessions or when the device is on the other side of the room.

The built-in converter automatically shows how many 498 seconds are in minutes. The timer works in the browser without setting it, allowing you to quickly start a new countdown with one click.
