Embed a Timer on Your Website
The ClockAura Embed Builder makes a free, working widget for your own website, blog, class page or wiki. Choose a countdown timer, a countdown to a date, a live clock, a Pomodoro timer or a stopwatch; set the time, the background, the button colour and the size; then copy one line of code and paste it into your page.
The widget is a single small file with no framework, no web fonts, no cookies, no analytics and no ads. It loads after your own content, keeps correct time in background tabs, scales down to phone width and can go full screen on a projector. Visitors can start, pause and reset it, see lap times or Pomodoro rounds, and hear a short beep when time is up.
There are three kinds of code. The Script code is one line and suits WordPress, Blogger, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow and most site builders. The Iframe code is for platforms that remove scripts, such as Google Sites and Canvas LMS. The Link is for apps that embed by URL, such as Notion. Step-by-step guides: WordPress, Google Sites, Notion, Canvas LMS and Blogger.
The widget is free with no account and no limit on pages. The one thing we ask is that you keep the short credit link that comes with the code, such as "Timer by ClockAura". It sits under the widget, points to the matching free tool on ClockAura and is marked rel="nofollow", as Google recommends for links in widgets.

How to embed a timer
- Choose what to embed: Timer, Countdown to a date, Clock, Pomodoro or Stopwatch.
- Set the time, date or time zone, and add a short title if you like.
- Pick a background, a button colour and a size. The live preview shows it inside a sample page, on desktop or phone width.
- Copy the code: Script for most websites, Iframe where scripts are removed (Google Sites, Canvas), or Link for Notion.
- Paste it into an HTML or embed block on your page and publish.
Tips for embedding timers
- Use the Iframe code if your site removes scripts. It does the same job and keeps the credit link.
- If the widget looks cut off, the box is too short: raise the height in the builder or drag the embed box taller.
- Browsers only play sound after a click, so an auto-started timer may stay silent until the visitor presses a button.
- A countdown to a date uses each visitor's own time zone unless you tick 'Same moment worldwide'.
- If your site uses a Content Security Policy, allow frame-src https://clockaura.com (and script-src for the Script code).
