This timer draws 12 hours as 20 concentric rings; one empties every 36 minutes, so a glance shows how far along you are without reading a digit. It chimes at zero, keeps counting in a background tab, runs fullscreen, and exports as a free MP4 video. Handy for an overnight brine, steeping cold brew coffee, or a 12-hour fasting window.
Twelve hours is half a day, which makes it the length of most overnight things: a brine, a jar of cold brew, and the simplest fasting window. Each ring on the dial is thirty-six minutes, so five rings is three hours and ring ten is six. At this length you set it at night and the chime is the morning.
A whole chicken or a pork loin in a salt-and-sugar brine wants about twelve hours in the fridge: enough for the seasoning to reach the centre, not so long the texture goes soft. Start the dial as the bird goes into the brine and lift it out at the chime, pat it dry, and leave it uncovered in the fridge for the skin to dry if there is time. Small pieces need far less; the 2 hour dial covers chops and thighs.
Coarse coffee steeped in cold water takes twelve to eighteen hours to reach full strength, and twelve is the setting for a smoother, lighter concentrate. Start the dial as the water goes over the grounds, at room temperature or in the fridge, and strain at the chime. If it tastes thin, the next batch gets the 24 hour dial and a taste at the halfway mark.
The gentlest time-restricted eating pattern is twelve hours off and twelve on: dinner done by eight, breakfast at eight. Start the dial after the last bite and the chime opens breakfast. It is not a diet so much as a habit of not eating late, and the visible ring count in the evening makes the deal concrete without a lecture.
Down is the 10 hour dial, a brisket and a long flight; up is the 24 hour dial, a full day. Every other length sits on the timers page.
36 minutes. The dial always has 20 rings, and this timer runs 12 hours.
Yes. The nearest pages are the 10 hour timer and the 24 hour timer, and the custom field on any dial takes an exact length.

A radial timer is a free online countdown timer you set in one click: pick a length, press Start, and an alarm sounds at zero. Run several timers at once, take one fullscreen, or pop one out picture-in-picture to float over other apps. Every timer keeps counting in a background tab, and any timer exports as a video. No download, no sign-up.
Its dial draws the countdown as 20 concentric rings, one for each twentieth of the duration. Rings empty one by one, outermost first, so a glance shows how far along you are without reading a digit.
Yes. The countdown follows the clock, so it stays on time while you work in another tab and still chimes at zero. The picture-in-picture popout keeps a small dial in view the whole way.
Yes. Any timer exports as an MP4 or a transparent WebM of the whole countdown, up to 4K and 60 fps, in 16:9, vertical, or square.
Yes. In OBS, add a browser source pointing at radialtimers.com/overlay?t=25m and a transparent dial counts down over your scene. Change t for any length, like 90s or 3h.
As many as you need. Each timer gets its own dial and runs on its own, which suits interval workouts, several dishes on the stove, or a room of activity stations.
