Online Timer

The timer in the top right stays visible on every tab. Set a countdown, choose a sound and keep working without opening another tool.

  1. Click the ⚙ (gear) to open the settings panel
  2. Set the time with the three sliders: Hours / Minutes / Seconds. The main display updates as you drag, so you can set it by eye
  3. Press ▶ to start — the panel closes itself (clicking outside the panel also closes it)
  4. While running, ▶ becomes ⏸ (pause)
  5. ↺ resets to the time you set

Four sounds to choose from

Pick one in the settings panel and preview it with the speaker icon next to each row. Your choice is remembered for next time.

  • Beep — a short electronic tone, for when you need to notice
  • Chime — two soft notes, for quiet places
  • Bell — a bell with a long tail, gentle on the ear
  • None — silent; the display blinks instead

It keeps running, whatever you do

The timer works from a target time, not a ticking counter. Switch tabs, write a memo, run a calculation, even reload the page — the time remaining stays correct.

When time is up

  • The display changes to a blinking 00:00:00
  • Your chosen sound repeats, with about one second between each play
  • A red stop button appears next to the digits. Press it to stop the sound and the blinking, and return to the time you set

When the timer is useful

  • Time-box a short administrative task.
  • Keep a call or meeting close to its intended length.
  • Set a study or practice block without opening another app.
  • Time a task while MEMODULE, Calduo or Dayplot stays open.

It is a simple countdown with an alarm — not a Pomodoro history manager, and not an account-based or cloud-synced timer. Closing the browser completely means the alarm cannot sound until you open DESKBIBO again.

FAQ

Q. Does the timer stay accurate after switching tools or reloading the page?

A. Yes. It counts from a target end time, so the remaining time stays correct when you switch tools or reload.

Q. Will the alarm sound if the browser is closed?

A. No. The alarm needs the page to be open in your browser. If the browser is fully closed, it will not sound.

Q. Is an account required?

A. No. There is no sign-up, and nothing is synced to a server.
