# 8 Minute Timer > Count down 8 minutes with one click: big digits that turn yellow, then red, as time runs out, and fullscreen for any screen. Free, no signup. Press Start and it counts down 8 minutes, turning yellow with 1 minute left and red for the last 15 seconds. ## A countdown in your browser This 8 Minute Timer runs right here in your browser: nothing to install, no account, and nothing sent anywhere. The digits stay readable from across a room, and fullscreen hides everything else, so it works on a classroom projector, a TV or a laptop at the edge of a stage. 8 minutes is a common length for a lightning talk, a quiz round or a short break. ## How to use it - Start begins the countdown and Pause stops it; the space bar does both. - Reset puts it back to 08:00 without starting it. - Fullscreen, or the F key, fills the screen with the timer. Esc leaves. - For another length, type it into the box, such as 7m, 1h30m or 5:00, or pick one from the list below. ## Need it on a stage screen? A MaestroTimer room shows the countdown on another screen your speaker can see while you control it from your phone, with a whole run of show and stage messages. Free, no signup.

Yes. Any assistant that can write a link can build you a free MaestroTimer room with this timer: open the link and it is ready in the controller, with a viewer link to put the countdown on a second screen. No account needed. ### Does it keep time if I switch tabs? Yes. The countdown is worked out from when it started, not counted tick by tick, so it shows the right time whenever you look, even after the tab sat in the background. ### Can I show it on another screen? This page runs only on the device it is open on. For a countdown your speaker sees on a stage screen while you control it from your phone, create a free timer room and share its viewer link. ## Every timer **Minutes:** [1 minute](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/1-minute) · [2 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/2-minutes) · [3 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/3-minutes) · [4 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/4-minutes) · [5 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/5-minutes) · [6 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/6-minutes) · [7 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/7-minutes) · [8 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/8-minutes) · [9 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/9-minutes) · [10 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/10-minutes) · [11 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/11-minutes) · [12 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/12-minutes) · [13 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/13-minutes) · [14 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/14-minutes) · [15 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/15-minutes) · [16 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/16-minutes) · [17 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/17-minutes) · [18 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/18-minutes) · [19 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/19-minutes) · [20 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/20-minutes) · [21 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/21-minutes) · [22 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/22-minutes) · [23 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/23-minutes) · [24 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/24-minutes) · [25 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/25-minutes) · [26 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/26-minutes) · [27 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/27-minutes) · [28 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/28-minutes) · [29 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/29-minutes) · [30 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/30-minutes) · [31 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/31-minutes) · [32 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/32-minutes) · [33 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/33-minutes) · [34 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/34-minutes) · [35 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/35-minutes) · [36 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/36-minutes) · [37 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/37-minutes) · [38 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/38-minutes) · [39 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/39-minutes) · [40 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/40-minutes) · [41 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/41-minutes) · [42 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/42-minutes) · [43 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/43-minutes) · [44 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/44-minutes) · [45 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/45-minutes) · [46 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/46-minutes) · [47 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/47-minutes) · [48 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/48-minutes) · [49 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/49-minutes) · [50 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/50-minutes) · [51 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/51-minutes) · [52 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/52-minutes) · [53 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/53-minutes) · [54 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/54-minutes) · [55 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/55-minutes) · [56 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/56-minutes) · [57 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/57-minutes) · [58 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/58-minutes) · [59 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/59-minutes) **Hours:** [1 hour](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/1-hour) · [1 hour 15 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/1-hour-15-minutes) · [1 hour 30 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/1-hour-30-minutes) · [1 hour 45 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/1-hour-45-minutes) · [2 hours](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/2-hours) · [2 hours 15 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/2-hours-15-minutes) · [2 hours 30 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/2-hours-30-minutes) · [2 hours 45 minutes](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/2-hours-45-minutes) · [3 hours](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/3-hours) **Clocks:** [Online Clock](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/clock) · [12-Hour Clock](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/clock-12h) · [12-Hour Clock with Seconds](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/clock-12h-seconds) · [24-Hour Clock](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/clock-24h) · [24-Hour Clock with Seconds](https://maestrotimer.com/timer/clock-24h-seconds) [Any other length](https://maestrotimer.com/timer)
