# Timer, Stopwatch & Pomodoro (Timer Studio) A free online timer: type a time, press start, and it counts down in your browser. The same page has a stopwatch with laps (to 1/100 second) and a Pomodoro timer that switches between work and breaks. The times you enter are never sent to a server. - URL: https://tools.itlibra.com/en/timer-studio - On-device・No upload - Last updated: 2026-10-23 ## How to use 1. In “Timer”, type a time such as “1:30”, “90s” or “1 min 30 sec” and press “Start”. A bare number such as “5” means 5 minutes. 2. Press one of the common times (1, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 30 min) to add a timer with that time to the list. Up to 12 timers can run at once. 3. In “Stopwatch”, press “Start” and then “Lap” to record each split. “Copy laps” copies the list (number, split and total) so you can paste it elsewhere. 4. In “Pomodoro”, set the length of work, short and long breaks, and how many work sessions come before a long break. Turn on “Start the next phase automatically” to run them back to back. 5. When a timer ends, a sound plays and the screen flashes. Press “Allow notifications” to be told by a notification even while you use another app. ## Use cases - Time boiled eggs or tea steeping in the middle of cooking - Give each speaker in a meeting a timer of their own - Focus with Pomodoro cycles of 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of rest - Record race times with the stopwatch and compare the splits between laps - Show a large full-screen clock on a classroom or event screen ## What it does ### Several timers at once Run up to 12 timers with different times, and start, pause, resume or reset each one. Give them names so you can see which one has ended. ### Correct time in a background tab The time left is calculated from the moment the timer started and the current time. If the browser delays the one-second display update while the tab is in the background, the correct time left appears when you come back. The stopwatch works the same way. ### Sound, flash and notification when done Choose a beep, a chime or a bell, and set the volume. Sounds are generated with Web Audio, so no audio file is loaded. The screen flash can be turned off, and notification permission is requested only when you press “Allow notifications”. ### Stopwatch with laps The stopwatch shows 1/100 second. Each lap shows its own split and the running total in a list that you can copy and paste into a spreadsheet or a note (up to 200 laps). ### Pomodoro cycles you can set Set the length of work, short-break and long-break phases, and the number of work sessions before a long break. The defaults are 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of short break (the classic Pomodoro Technique pair), and a 20-minute long break after every four sessions (a commonly used value). ### Settings stay on this device Sound, volume, the flash and Pomodoro settings are saved in this browser. Timer times and names are not saved or uploaded. Space starts and stops the timer from the keyboard, and full-screen display is supported. ## Supported formats ### How to type a time - 1:30 (min:sec) · 1:02:03 (h:min:sec) - 90s · 1 min 30 sec · 1 h 30 min · 2h - A bare number is minutes (5 = 5 min) ### Ranges - Timer: 1 second to 23 h 59 min 59 s - Up to 12 timers at once; up to 200 laps - Pomodoro: work 1–180 min, short break 1–60, long break 1–120, sessions 2–8 ## Capability matrix | Feature | Support | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Several timers at once (up to 12) | Supported | — | | Typing a time (1:30, 90s, 1 min 30 sec) | Supported | A bare number is minutes | | End sound, screen flash and notification | Partial | Notifications only if you allow them | | Still running and sounding after the tab is closed | Not supported | Closing the tab stops the timer | | Correct time left in a background tab | Supported | Sound and notifications may be late | | Stopwatch (1/100 second, laps) | Supported | Up to 200 laps | | Copying the lap list | Supported | — | | Pomodoro (switching between work and breaks) | Supported | You can choose to go on automatically | | Keeping the screen on (Wake Lock) | Partial | Only where the browser supports it | | Full-screen display | Partial | Only where the browser supports it | | Timers kept after the page is closed | Not supported | Closing the page clears them | | Settings saved in this browser | Supported | Not carried over to other devices | | Linking with the system alarm or clock app | Not supported | — | | Offline use | Supported | Works without a connection once loaded | ## Limits & notes - Timers run from 1 second to 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds. Up to 12 can run at once. - A bare number is read as minutes. Forms such as “1:90”, where the minutes or seconds exceed 59, are not accepted. - The stopwatch shows 1/100 second. Up to 200 laps are recorded. - Pomodoro work is 1–180 minutes, short breaks 1–60, long breaks 1–120, and sessions before a long break 2–8. - Closing the tab or the browser stops any running timer, and its sound will not play. - How time is handled when the computer goes to sleep depends on the device and browser. - When the system “reduce motion” setting is on, the screen does not flash. - Works on phones (checked at 390 px wide). A larger screen is easier to read from a distance in full-screen mode. ## Privacy & safety Timer times, names and laps are not sent to a server and are not saved; they are cleared when you leave the page. Only the sound, volume, flash and Pomodoro settings are saved, in this browser (localStorage). Entered values are not included in analytics. ## FAQ ### Does a timer drift when the tab is in the background? No. The time left is calculated from the moment the timer started and the current time. If the browser slows down a background tab, the correct time left still appears when you return. Sound and notifications may, however, arrive late from a background tab. ### Are “1:30” and “90” the same? No. “1:30” is 1 minute 30 seconds (90 seconds). A bare “90” is read as 90 minutes. To enter seconds only, type “90s”. ### Where do the Pomodoro defaults come from? The 25-minute work session and 5-minute short break are the basic pair of the Pomodoro Technique by Francesco Cirillo. The 20-minute long break after four work sessions is a commonly used value; the range usually cited for it is 15–30 minutes. You can change every value. ### Can the screen be kept on? Turn on “Keep the screen on while running”. While a timer runs, the browser’s Screen Wake Lock feature keeps the screen from turning off. Browsers that do not support it cannot use this option. ### How do I get notifications? Press “Allow notifications”, and the browser asks for permission. Once allowed, a notification tells you when a timer ends. The browser is asked only when you press this button. ### Are the times or names I enter sent anywhere? No. Timer times, names and laps are not sent, and they are not saved. Only settings such as the sound and flash are saved, in this browser.
