Practice timer
Set how long you want to practise and the timer counts down with the metronome: it pauses when the click stops and runs again when you start.
How to use it
- Choose Countdown or Stopwatch.
- Pick 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes, or set any length up to 23 hours 59 minutes.
- Leave Sync with the metronome on to count only the time the click runs, and Stop the metronome at zero to end the session for you.
- Press Start. While it runs, it shows the time of day it will end.
Count the time you really practise
With sync on, a break to read the music or answer the phone doesn't count: the timer waits for the click. When the countdown reaches zero it says Time's up and stops the metronome. It keeps time by the clock, so it stays right even when the browser puts the tab to sleep.
Practise more
Use it with the tempo trainer for timed speed work, or the rhythm trainer for a few minutes of time-keeping every day. By link, /app/?timer=20 sets a 20-minute countdown.
Questions
- Does it play an alarm?
- No. When time is up it shows Time's up and, if you leave that option on, stops the metronome, so the silence tells you.
- Does it count while the metronome is stopped?
- Not with Sync with the metronome on: it pauses with the click and runs again when you press Start. Turn sync off to count all the time.
- Can I set it by link?
- Yes: /app/?timer=10 for 10 minutes, ?timer=1h for an hour, ?timer=stopwatch to count up.
- Is it free?
- Yes, with no ads and no account needed, in any browser.
