What is Multiple Timers?

Multiple Timers lets you run several countdown timers at once, each with its own name, duration, and alert. Useful when you're cooking multiple dishes or juggling overlapping deadlines. You get both a sound and a visual notification when each timer hits zero.

Each timer keeps its own name, color tag, start/pause/reset controls, and a beep when it hits zero. A completion log records every timer that finishes, with timestamp and original duration, so you can export the whole session to CSV — useful when timing repetitive work like rest sets, intervals, or laundry cycles.

How to use

1. Click 'Add Timer' and set a name and duration (hours, minutes, seconds) for your first countdown.
2. Add as many timers as you need — each runs independently with its own start, pause, and reset controls.
3. When a timer reaches zero, you'll hear an alert sound and see a visual notification. Dismiss or restart as needed.

When to use

• Cooking several dishes that need to come off the heat at different moments.
• HIIT and circuit training where work and rest periods overlap.
• Tracking laundry, brewing tea, and oven preheats in parallel.

Result

While cooking dinner, you set three timers: 'Pasta' at 12 minutes, 'Garlic Bread' at 8 minutes, and 'Sauce' at 20 minutes. All three count down simultaneously, each alerting you at the right moment so nothing overcooks.

FAQ

What happens if I close the tab while timers are running?

The timers run inside the page, so closing or refreshing stops them. Keep the tab open in the background. The beep uses the Web Audio API so it plays whether or not the tab is focused, as long as the page is still loaded.

Is there a limit to how many timers I can run at once?

There's no hard cap. A dozen timers run smoothly on a typical phone. After fifty or so the layout gets harder to scan than the math gets slow, so the only real limit is your screen.

Can I save my timer setups for next time?

Yes — your timers and completion log are saved on this device automatically and come back when you reload, so you won't lose your setup. A timer that was running keeps counting in real time while the page is closed: when you return it shows the correct time left (or is already marked finished if it ran out), restored paused so you just press Start to continue. You can also export the log as CSV to keep a permanent record of names, durations, and timestamps.

Why does the alert sometimes feel a second or two late?

Browsers throttle background tabs to save battery, so a tab that hasn't had focus for a while may tick slower than once per second. Bring the tab to the front before the last 30 seconds for precise alerts.

Does the CSV export include partial sessions?

It exports every timer that has actually completed during this session. Timers still running, paused, or reset don't appear in the log because they never reached zero — only the finish events are recorded.
