A meeting timer that is not a calendar invite
No new tool, no bot in Slack. Paste the link in the agenda. Recipients land on 30:00 and can start together. Looks and share hashes still work if you want a branded face.

Thirty-minute call clock
Keep the meeting to 30 minutes
This page loads 30:00. Share the tab on a video call or pin it on a conference-room display. When time is up, the alarm is only on devices that opened the timer.
Stand-ups overrun because nobody owns the clock. A countdown everyone can see is more polite than a verbal wrap-up. For a 15-minute huddle, use the 15 minute timer page. For a 60-minute workshop, use the exam/hour landing or change the dial.
-
01
Start the meeting clock at 30:00
Press Start when the call begins. Mute the tab if you do not want a chime on the recording. The digits still count down.
-
02
Start the countdown
Press Start or Space. Progress updates on a circular dial, and the face shows when the timer ends. Pause anytime, add +1 min, queue another timer, or go fullscreen / sleep for a distraction-free display. The tab title shows remaining time while you work elsewhere.

03
Hear the alert & keep going
When time is up, stop the alarm with one tap. Start the next queued timer, review local history, export CSV, or copy a shareable link. A refresh restores an in-progress countdown on this device.
What you get
- Presets & quick lengths Jump to common seconds, minutes, and hours, or named timers like study and classroom. The Countdown pane still offers weekdays, times of day, and a custom datetime — holiday countdowns are on the Online Countdown tool.
- Background-tab accuracy Countdown uses deadline math so it stays correct when the browser throttles hidden tabs.
- Sounds, notifications & wake lock Choose alert sounds and ring length, get a desktop notification when finished, and keep the screen awake while running.
- Fullscreen & sleep mode Go fullscreen for a large dial display, or sleep to dim the whole page so only the countdown stays visible.
- Up-next queue While a timer is running, tap presets to queue up to three countdowns and start the next when you are ready.
- Embed widget Drop a compact countdown on your site with custom colors, size, skin, and default duration.
Frequently asked questions
Setting the dial, presets, alerts, and embeds — quick answers.
Will everyone on the call hear the meeting alarm?
Only machines that opened this page with sound on. Sharing the screen shows digits; it does not ring remote speakers unless you share tab audio.
Can I run a 15-minute stand-up instead?
Yes. Open the 15 minute timer page, or tap this dial down to 15:00. This landing is the common half-hour slot.
Does the meeting timer need an account?
No. Preferences stay in that browser. Copy the URL if you want the same 30:00 preset next week.
Can I queue a 5-minute wrap-up?
While 30:00 runs, tap a 5-minute preset to queue it. When the alarm fires, start the next countdown for parking-lot topics.
