Press start. Walk away. The browser will alarm when 8 minutes are up.

When a 8-minute timer is the right one

a full HIIT block, or one round of the Tabata-adjacent eight-minute plank challenge.

The timer above is the same one that powers the homepage stopwatch and countdown — it just starts pre-set to 8 minutes so you can hit start and forget about it. There is no account, nothing to install, and the page works offline once it has loaded once.

Will the alarm work if I switch tabs?

Yes — the timer reads the system clock, so switching tabs does not pause it. The alarm fires when the 8 minutes are up. On mobile, browsers may throttle background audio when the screen is locked; for sleep-mode reliability, use your operating system's built-in clock app.

Does it work offline?

After the first load, yes. The page is a static HTML file with no backend.
