Online Task Timer

Online task timer for work and study — run your task list one by one with automatic countdowns in Chrome's side panel.

Online Task Timer is a task timer that runs your task list one task at a time with automatic countdowns — no manual resets, no losing track of what's next. This online task timer lives right inside your Chrome side panel, so your countdowns stay visible while you browse, write, study, or work. Set up your list once, hit start, and the timer handles all the sequencing for you. 🕐 What This Task Timer Does ➡️ Build a timer with task list — give every task its own name and duration ➡️ Runs as a sequential task timer: each task counts down, then the next one starts automatically ➡️ Works as a meeting timer to keep agenda items on track ➡️ Acts as a work timer for focused, timed work blocks ➡️ Chains your tasks into a timed queue, so nothing needs a manual restart ➡️ Doubles as a sequence timer or interval timer — run named tasks in order, or repeat timed work and break blocks ➡️ Keeps counting even when you close the side panel or switch tabs ➡️ Lets you pick a color for each task, so the active one is obvious at a glance 👥 Who Finds This Online Task Timer Useful 1️⃣ Anyone who runs meetings and wants a task timer for each agenda item 2️⃣ Students doing structured study sessions with breaks built in 3️⃣ Remote workers who want an online work timer sitting beside their tabs 4️⃣ Developers running Pomodoro-style focus blocks 5️⃣ Teachers timing classroom activities one after another 6️⃣ Coaches and trainers who need an interval timer for workout circuits 7️⃣ Writers alternating drafting and editing in timed chunks 8️⃣ Anyone who focuses better with a visible countdown always on screen ✨ Why People Like This Task Timer Online 🔹 Lives in the Chrome side panel — always visible, never covering your page 🔹 Fully automatic task-to-task transitions, like a proper interval timer 🔹 Color-code each task so the active one is instantly recognizable 🔹 Progress bar for the current task AND for the whole session 🔹 Queue view shows completed tasks with checkmarks and what's coming next 🔹 Keeps ticking even if you close the panel or switch tabs 🔹 Pause, resume, or skip any task mid-session without losing your place 🔹 Subtle audio chime when each task ends, so you never watch the clock ⚙️ Features Inside the Task Timer App ⭐ Drag-and-drop reordering — arrange your task list before you start ⭐ Per-task color picker — each task gets its own color dot in the queue ⭐ Large MM:SS countdown display, readable at a glance while you work ⭐ Overall session progress shown as a percentage ⭐ Edit button mid-session — jump back to setup without losing your list ⭐ Restart button — run the whole timed queue again from scratch ⭐ Dark mode and light mode, with your choice saved ⭐ Task list saved automatically — your daily task timer routine is ready every morning 🔧 Behind-the-Scenes Tech (Explained Simply) 🎯 Built on Chrome's Side Panel API — that's why this task timer sits beside your page instead of covering it 🎯 Chrome Alarms keep the countdown running in the background even when the panel is closed 🎯 Wall-clock time tracking — reopen the panel mid-session and it calculates exactly where you are 🎯 Web Audio API generates the task-complete chime — no audio files, nothing to download 🎯 Everything saved locally with Chrome Storage — your tasks never leave your device 🎯 Manifest V3 — the current Chrome extension standard, secure and up to date ⏳ A Note on Time Blocking Time blocking is the habit of giving every piece of work its own slot in the day, and it works because it turns a vague to-do list into a plan you can actually follow. This extension applies the same idea at a smaller scale: instead of blocking out hours on a calendar, you give each item a few focused minutes and let the queue carry you from one thing to the next. Less deciding, less drifting, more finishing — that's the whole point of time blocking in the browser. 💡 Helpful Tips ✅ Add a short 30-second buffer task between big tasks to give yourself a breather ✅ Color-code by energy: warm colors for deep work, cool colors for breaks ✅ Use it as a meeting timer by adding each agenda item before the call ✅ The side panel stays open across tabs — pin it and forget it while you work ✅ Hit Skip when a task wraps up early — the sequential timer moves straight on ✅ Your list is saved automatically, so your usual routine is one click away ❓ FAQ ► Is this task timer online only, or does it need an account? No account and no server — everything runs locally in your browser. ► Does the timer keep running when I close the side panel? Yes. Chrome alarms keep your session going in the background. ► Can I use it as a simple task timer for a single task?
