5 Minute Timer

05:00

A free, full-screen 5-minute countdown that runs right here in your browser — no download and no sign-up to use it.

Need it on the big screen — and your phone?

This is what makes KeepTheScore different from every other free timer: create a timer once and open the same link on any number of devices. Start, pause and reset it from your phone while it counts down — perfectly in sync — on the projector, the TV, the stream overlay, or every participant's screen. Nothing to install.

Free account — control it remotely and display it on as many screens as you like. Built for the same jobs as a sports & stream timer: game clocks, halftime countdowns and OBS overlays.
