Tick Timer
Three quiet timers for a louder day. Sip on schedule. Count one block down. Focus in 25-minute bursts. A gentle sound when it is time — even if you are in another tab.
Timers that stay out of the way
Pick the clock you need. Each one runs locally on your device.
Timer
One countdown. Set the minutes, press start, and a gentle sound plays when time is up. No list, no cycles — just a single clock.
Start a countdownPomodoro Timer
25 minutes of focus, 5 minutes to breathe, a longer pause after four cycles. A classic method, stripped to a clean clock.

Designed to interrupt kindly
A soft audio cue is harder to ignore than a buried phone alarm you will silence and forget.
Stays in the tab you already use
Keep Tick Timer open beside your work. Alerts can still reach you when another tab is in front.
Private by default
Reminders live in local storage. No login, no tracking account, no cloud sync required.

Frequently asked questions
What is Tick Timer?
- Tick Timer is a free web app with three tools: a customizable water reminder, a single countdown timer, and a Pomodoro focus clock. It runs in the browser and stores your reminders on your device.
Is Tick Timer free to use?
- Yes. All three timers are free. There is no subscription and no account to create.
Will the water alarm work if I am in another tab?
- The reminder can play while Tick Timer stays open in another tab. Browsers may throttle background tabs, so keep the page open and allow audio if prompted.
How often should I drink water?
- Many people aim for about two liters a day, taken in small sips. Tick Timer lets you remind yourself every few minutes or at a fixed minute each hour — adjust to your climate, body, and activity.
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
- It is a time-management method that splits work into 25-minute focus intervals separated by short breaks, with a longer break after four cycles. Tick Timer includes a ready-made Pomodoro clock so you can start immediately.
Do I need to install an app?
- No. Open Tick Timer in a modern browser on your phone or computer. Your language preference and water reminders are saved locally.
How is the timer different from the water reminder?
- The timer is a single countdown that rings once and stops. The water reminder repeats on an interval and can keep more than one alert. Use the timer for one-off blocks; use water when you want a habit.
