Timer questions
How do I set a 2 minute timer?
Press Start on this page. It is already set to 2 minutes, and an alarm sounds when the countdown reaches zero. You can change the length with the hour, minute and second boxes or the presets.
How many seconds is 2 minutes?
2 minutes is 120 seconds.
Will the timer ring if the tab is in the background?
Yes, as long as the page stays open. The countdown is based on the clock, so it stays accurate in a background tab, and Timelive asks your browser to keep the screen awake while it runs. Some phones and browsers pause background tabs when the screen locks, so for important timers keep the tab open and the volume up.
Does the timer keep going if I reload the page?
Yes. Timelive remembers when the timer will finish, so after a reload or if you reopen the page in the same browser, it carries on from the right moment.
Can I use it as a Pomodoro timer?
Yes. Choose 25 minutes for a focus session, then 5 minutes for a break, and repeat. After four sessions many people take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.
How do I stop the alarm or turn the sound off?
Press Stop alarm or the Escape key. The alarm also stops by itself after one minute. Untick Sound to use the timer silently; the screen will still flash and the page title will say “Time’s up”.
