How it works

  1. Tap Start. The ring runs down from 2:00:00.
  2. Leave the tab open, or open the same timer on your phone where it keeps running in the background.
  3. A tone marks the end.
  4. For something you want to arrive at a fixed clock time instead, set an alarm rather than a timer.

Frequently asked questions

What is a two hour timer used for?
The common ones are a film, an exam or test window, a parking meter, and slow cooking. It is also the length people give themselves for a long, uninterrupted work session before a real break.
Will it keep running if I close the tab?
No. A browser timer needs this tab to stay open, which is a lot to ask over two hours. On your phone the NanoTimer app keeps the countdown running in the background, with a notification and a Live Activity on the lock screen, so you can put the phone away.
Should I use a timer or an alarm for this?
A timer counts a duration from now; an alarm rings at a set clock time. If what you mean is "in two hours", a timer is right. If you mean "at four o'clock", use the alarm instead.
