Online interval timer
Set work time, rest time and number of rounds for workouts, studying or any repeated task, with a sound alert on every change.
00:30
Round 1 of 8
A generic interval timer that alternates work time and rest time over a number of rounds, useful for HIIT training, circuits, study blocks or any repeated task.
Each work or rest phase is a countdown calculated from its own start time, so the time shown is always accurate even if the tab stays in the background for a while. When a full round (work + rest) ends, it automatically moves to the next one until the configured number is reached.
Use cases
- HIIT or circuit training with work and rest series.
- Study techniques using short blocks with fixed breaks.
- Any task repeated in timed rounds, such as language drills or rehearsals.

Frequently asked questions
Is it only for exercise?
No, it's a generic tool: it works with a "work phase" and a "rest phase" without assuming any specific context, so it works equally well for training, studying or repeating any task by intervals.
What happens if I close the tab before finishing all rounds?
Progress isn't saved: reopening the tool starts you back at the initial setup, just like a physical timer that gets unplugged.
Does it sound different at the end of a phase versus the end of the whole workout?
Yes. Every phase change has a short alert, and completing the last round plays a distinct final alarm so you know it's fully done.
