Multiple Timers — Run Several Timers at Once
Run several independent timers at the same time, each with its own label, duration and colour. Start, pause, reset or delete any timer individually, or use Start All / Pause All / Reset All to control every timer at once. Your configured timers are saved so they are still there next time you visit. Useful for cooking multiple dishes, running classroom stations, timing workout circuits, or juggling several tasks at once.
About multiple timers
Run several independent, named timers at once — each with its own duration, colour and controls — with global Start All / Pause All / Reset All buttons, and the soonest-finishing timer shown in the browser tab title.
Some tasks need more than one timer running at the same time — a kitchen with several dishes going at once, multiple classroom stations, or a few things you're juggling in parallel. A single kitchen timer forces you to pick which dish matters most and guess at the rest; this tool instead lets you add as many independent timers as you need, each with its own label, duration and colour, controlled individually or all together. Your configured timers (not their running state) are saved, so they are still there next time you open the page.
Example kitchen setup
| Timer | Length | Why separate |
|---|---|---|
| Rice | 18 min | Needs to rest off heat |
| Sauce | 25 min | Stir checks throughout |
| Oven tray | 35 min | Longest, start first |
| Garlic bread | 8 min | Last in, easy to burn |
When to use it
- Kitchen multitasking — rice, sauce and something in the oven, each on its own timer, all running in parallel.
- Running several classroom stations on independent timers.
- Timing multiple workout circuits simultaneously.
- Any situation where you're juggling more than one timed task at once.
How to use it
- Press "Add Timer" and give it a label, duration and colour.
- Start, pause, reset or delete each timer individually, or use the global Start All / Pause All / Reset All controls.
- The soonest-finishing running timer's label and remaining time appear in your browser tab.
Tips
- Use the example presets (Pasta, Laundry, Study) to get started quickly if you have no timers yet.
- Give each timer a distinct colour so they're easy to tell apart at a glance.
FAQ
How many timers can I run at once?
As many as you add — each runs independently with its own start, pause and reset controls.
Are my timers saved if I close the tab?
Yes — the configured timers (label, duration, colour) are saved in your browser and restored next time you visit, though running state resets.
How do I know which timer will finish first?
Whichever running timer has the least time remaining shows its label and countdown in the browser tab title.
How many timers can I run at once?
As many as you need — each one is independent, with its own label, duration and colour. In practice people run three to six: one per pot on the stove, or one per station in a classroom.
Do the timers keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. They keep counting in the background, and the soonest-finishing timer's label and remaining time appear in the browser tab title so you can check without switching back.
Are my timers saved for next time?
Your configured timers are remembered, so the set you built is still there when you reopen the page. Their running state is not saved — you start them fresh each session.
