Why We Built This
We built the site after years of frustration with the existing options. Most timer sites are cluttered with ads, built on outdated tech not optimized for mobile, or buried under unnecessary features. We started from scratch with one goal and that was to simplify the page so you can start your timer and get back to what you were doing.
Every timer on this site is hand-built and tested across various devices. They also include sound alerts, keyboard shortcuts, and a full-screen mode. You can also easily share the timers via shareable URLs.

Who We Are
Set-Timer.com is built and maintained by the same small team with the goal to simply create a useful and easy to use alternative to what currently exists. There’s no outside funding, no collection or selling of data, and no subscription fees. Our tools are completely free.
Accuracy and Reliability
Our timers use high-precision browser timing to ensure accurate countdowns even at high speeds. Sound alerts are generated in real time using the Web Audio API, meaning no audio files need to be downloaded. Browser notifications keep you informed even when you switch tabs. Timer state is handled locally in your browser and nothing is sent to our servers.
