Multi Kitchen Timer
Name each timer so you know what is beeping. Timers keep counting correctly if you switch tabs or lock your phone.
No timers running. Timers keep counting correctly even if you close this page and come back.
Reference and detail
How the timers stay accurate
Each timer remembers the exact moment it should finish rather than counting down in the background, so leaving the page or locking your phone does not throw it off.
Sound and alerts
Phones only allow sound after you tap something, so the first tap on a timer switches the alert on. Keep the page open in the background for the best chance of hearing it.
Questions and answers
Questions about the kitchen timer
Can I run more than one timer at once?
Yes. Start as many timers as you need and they all count down independently in the same list.
Can I name each timer?
Yes, give each timer a label, such as "Potatoes" or "Bread", when you start it, so it's clear which timer is which in the list.
Will my timers still be running if I refresh the page or come back later?
Yes, timers are stored as absolute finish times rather than a countdown that resets, so refreshing the page or closing and reopening it keeps them accurate.
Do timers keep running if I close the browser tab?
Because a timer is stored as the actual time it finishes rather than a running countdown, reopening the page afterwards will show it as finished if its time has passed, but with the tab closed, no alert sound plays until you come back to the page.
Can I pause or extend a timer once it's started?
Yes, each running timer has a pause button, and you can add a minute or five minutes to it while it's running.
