What is ChainTimer?
ChainTimer is a free, browser-based chained timer that lets you link multiple timers together so they run as an automatic sequence. It is built for situations where a single countdown is not enough — multi-step cooking, Pomodoro work sessions, HIIT circuits, and any routine where you need the next step to begin the moment the previous one ends. No install, no account, and it works identically on desktop and mobile browsers.

- Name each timer and set its duration individually
- Reorder and edit steps at any time
- Hear a notification sound when each timer completes
Who it is for

Pomodoro users get a zero-friction way to cycle between focus and breaks. HIIT fans get a setup that runs exercise and rest intervals back-to-back without touching the screen.
