How It Works

Pick a preset

Tap 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, or 25 minutes — or switch to stopwatch mode.

Start the timer

A large, readable display counts down or up so you can see it across the room.

Hear the alert

A sound plays when the countdown reaches zero. Pause and reset any time.

A timer that stays out of the way

Sometimes you just need a clean timer. This one is full-screen, large enough to read from across a room, and free of the ads and clutter that fill most online timers. Tap a preset, hit start, and get back to work.

Countdown or stopwatch

Switch between a countdown timer with one-tap presets (1, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 25 minutes) and a stopwatch that counts up. The 25-minute preset is handy for focus sessions; the short ones are great for breaks, presentations, drills, and timed tasks. When the countdown hits zero, a short sound lets you know.

Private and instant

It runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install, no account, no tracking of what you time. Recording a timed talk, interview, or study session? Sozai can transcribe it afterward into clean, searchable text with timestamps, so the timer keeps you on schedule and Sozai keeps the words.
