Countdown Timer
time
1. How to Use
- Enter hours, minutes, and seconds manually or click a preset button (5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour).
- Click the green play button to start the countdown. Click again to pause.
- When the timer reaches zero, you'll see a modal, hear a sound (if enabled), and receive a browser notification.
- Use the sound button to toggle audio alerts on or off.
2. How It Works
The timer computes endTime = Date.now() + duration. Every 100ms it checks remaining = endTime - Date.now() and updates the display.
Progress is shown as a circular ring and a bar. Color shifts to amber at 75% and red at 90% remaining.
On completion, a modal opens, an audio file plays (if enabled), and the Notification API is used for browser alerts.
