Free Meditation Timer Online

A distraction-free online meditation timer

Use this free browser timer for a short work break or a longer silent sit. Choose a duration from 1 to 180 minutes, keep background sound set to None for silence, or add white, brown, or pink noise. Start and end bells mark the session; interval bells are optional. Keep the tab open and your device awake so the browser can play the ending bell on time.

How to use the meditation timer

1. 1

   Choose a duration. Pick a preset or enter a custom length in minutes.

2. 2

   Set your bells. Start and end bells play automatically. Add interval bells only if you want reminders during the session.

3. 3

   Pick a background sound. Layer white, brown, or pink noise to mask distractions, or keep it silent.

4. 4

   Press start and meditate. Keep the tab open and your device awake. Follow your natural breath until the ending bell sounds.

A simple five-minute silent meditation

Sit comfortably on a chair or cushion. Let your breath find its own pace and notice where you feel it most clearly. When thoughts or ordinary sounds catch your attention, gently return to the next breath. You do not need an empty mind or a perfectly quiet room. When the bell sounds, take a moment before continuing your day.

Using a browser timer reliably

After this page has loaded, the timer generates its own audio without streaming. Reopening or refreshing the page offline may need a connection. A locked screen or background tab can delay browser timers and bells. Test your volume before sitting, keep this tab visible, and use the mobile app when you want to put your phone away.
