About the 25 Second Timer

A 25 second countdown with a display large enough to read across a room, keyboard shortcuts, and an alarm at zero. Built for intervals, rest periods and game rounds — no ads, no signup.

TimerHub calculates remaining time from an absolute finish timestamp, so missed browser callbacks do not create drift. Read the timing accuracy methodology and reproducible tests.

How to Use the 25 Second Timer

  • Press Start — or the Space bar — to run the 25 second countdown. Space also pauses and resumes it; R resets it
  • Adjust by 10 seconds with the +/- buttons while it runs, toggle Repeat to loop it, and check the finish time shown under the display
  • Use the Fullscreen control below the timer for a room-sized countdown (Esc to exit)
  • Choose or mute the alarm in the header's sound settings, and pick a background sound — rain, ocean, fireplace or brown noise — that fades out at zero
  • Enable notifications to be alerted when your 25 second timer finishes in a background tab, and add ?autostart=1 to the link to start the countdown on load
