13 Minute Timer

Click for fullscreenpress F · exit with Esc

A big, full-screen 13 minute timer. Press Start and the countdown fills your screen in large, glance-able digits; when it reaches zero an alarm sounds and the screen flashes so you notice from across the room. Click for fullscreen, and use Start / Pause or just click the screen to control it.

Nothing to install and no account — the 13 minute countdown runs live in your browser, keeps your screen awake while it counts, and beeps when time is up. Need a different length? Try the 30-minute-timer or 1-hour-timer, or keep the current time in view with the flip clock.

What people use it for

Cooking & tasks

Set the 13 minute timer for steeping tea, a workout round, laundry, or anything on the stove, and let the full-screen alarm call you back.

Focus & study blocks

Run a 13 minute block of focused work with the countdown visible on a spare monitor, then take a break when it rings.

Presentations & meetings

Keep a talk, demo or breakout on schedule — a big shared countdown is far clearer than a phone timer on a table.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 13 minute timer free?

Yes — no app, no account, no download. Open the page, press Start, and it runs in your browser.

Does it make a sound when it ends?

Yes. When the countdown reaches zero it plays a repeating alarm beep and the screen flashes. Press Reset or Pause to stop it.

Can I pause and resume?

Yes. The Start button becomes Pause while running; click it (or click the screen in fullscreen) to pause and resume. Reset returns it to the full time.

Will it keep running if I switch tabs?

The countdown keeps time in the background, and the alarm still fires when you return. For a reliable alarm keep the tab open; the page also requests a screen wake-lock so the display stays on while it counts.

Can I change the length?

This page starts at 13 minute. Use the +1 min button to extend it, or pick another preset from the Timers menu for a different duration.
