Set a 14 minute timer

This 14 minute timer is ready to go: it counts down from 14:00 and plays an alarm at zero. Press Start and the page also shows the exact clock time it will end.

Fourteen minutes is 840 seconds, just under a quarter hour. It's a useful length when 15 minutes would run into your next commitment.

How to set it

  1. Press Start or Space. The countdown begins at 14:00.
  2. Glance at the browser tab title to see the time left while you work in another tab.
  3. When the alarm sounds, press R to reset or Set Time to change the length.

Ways to use 14 minutes

  • Before a meeting or class. Start a task with 15 minutes to go and the alarm leaves you one minute to get ready.
  • A short walk. Seven minutes out, seven minutes back.
  • Quiet reading time. Long enough for a few pages, short enough for younger readers.
  • Recipe steps. Simmering, roasting vegetables or resting dough when the recipe asks for an exact time.

Prefer something more dramatic?

Some people search for a "14 minute timer bomb." The bomb timer lets you set a custom time with a burning fuse and a "boom" at zero, which works well for games and classroom challenges. For a calm, kid-friendly display, try the visual timer, whose colored disc shrinks as time passes.

Questions people ask

Will the timer stop if my computer goes to sleep?

If the device sleeps, the page can't play sound. The timer tries to keep the screen awake while running, but check your power settings for long sessions.

Can I use it without an account?

Yes. It's free, there's no sign-up, and your settings are stored on your device.
