Online countdown timer

This online countdown timer is meant to be as easy to use as a regular kitchen timer. It is equally simple: all that you have to do to set it is to rotate the dial and point the red arrow at the desired number

There are two ways to start the countdown. Choose the one that is most suitable for you:

Autostart mode - in this case the timer will start working immediately after you set the time. It mimics the behavior of a real kitchen timer.

Manual mode - to get the timer started you will have to press the green start button.

Also, just like in a real timer you can change your mind any time and adjust it while it is running.
