This timer draws 9 minutes as 20 concentric rings; one empties every 27 seconds, 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 one snooze cycle, crisping a pan of bacon, or capping a shower.
Nine minutes is the length of a snooze on a great many alarm clocks, and that is how most people first learn it. In the kitchen it is bacon, and in the bathroom it is a shower that has a limit. On the dial a ring goes every twenty-seven seconds, so the face empties in a slow, steady sweep that is easy to read from a bed.
The habit of a nine-minute snooze comes from old clock designs and stuck. Used deliberately, a single snooze is a fair thing: lie still, let the light in, and get up at the chime rather than at the third alarm. Set this dial when the alarm goes and put the phone out of reach so the chime means standing up. A second snooze rarely helps; the 20 minute dial is the proper length if what you actually need is a nap.
Streaky bacon in a cold pan brought up to medium heat takes about nine minutes to go fully crisp, turned a couple of times along the way. Start the dial as the pan goes on the heat and turn the rashers as the first third of the face empties, then again around ring thirteen. Thick-cut slices want longer; check at the chime and give them two more minutes if they are still soft.
A nine minute dial by the bathroom door caps a shower without a nagging voice. Start it as the water goes on and finish rinsing at the chime, which carries through a closed door. Nine minutes is generous; if the goal is saving water, try the 5 minute dial and see whether anyone notices.
Nine minutes is three three-minute rounds back to back with no rest, switching at rings seven and thirteen (roughly, since three minutes is six and two thirds rings). For rounds with rests between, the 11 minute dial has the two one-minute breaks built in.
Eight minutes is a hard-boiled egg; ten is the standard short block. Both are one step away: 8 minutes and 10 minutes. The card has a nine-minute video, and the timers page has the rest.
27 seconds. The dial always has 20 rings, and this timer runs 9 minutes.
Yes. The nearest pages are the 8 minute timer and the 10 minute timer, and the custom field on any dial takes an exact length.
Add it as a browser source in OBS; the background stays transparent. Change t for any 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.
