Online talking timer
A free talking timer that speaks: when it ends, it says the message you type out loud and, if you want, tells you how much time is left and counts down the last seconds. Nothing to install.
Keep this tab open and the volume up. If you lock your phone, the browser may pause the timer.

Why use a timer that talks?
A beep only tells you that time's up. A talking timer tells you what to do: “drain the pasta”, “switch exercises” or “take a five-minute break”. That way you don't have to look at the screen or remember why you set it, which is really handy when your hands are busy in the kitchen, you're working out or you have several timers going at once.
1, 5 or 10 minute timer with voice
The quick buttons set the time in one tap. With alerts turned on, the timer says “5 minutes left”, “1 minute left” and counts down the last ten seconds out loud.
Pomodoro timer with voice
Set 25 minutes with the message “Pomodoro done, take a five-minute break” and then 5 minutes with “Time to focus again”. If you want them to go off even when you close the browser, create both timers in the app.
Talking timer on iPhone, even when it's locked
The browser timer needs the tab to stay open. On iPhone, Alarma Voz creates talking timers that go off like a system alarm: with your iPhone locked, on silent and offline. You can also:
- Use your own voice or an audio from “My audios” as the message.
- See the countdown on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
- Save your timers for cooking, the gym or studying and start them in one tap.
Frequently asked questions
How does the online talking timer work?
Choose the time, type what you want to hear when it ends and press Start. When the countdown finishes, your browser will say your message out loud. If you turn on alerts, it will also tell you how much time is left.
Does it work with the screen off?
In a browser, not always: if you lock your phone or close the tab, the timer may stop. To make sure it always goes off, even with your iPhone locked or on silent, use the Alarma Voz app.
Can I set a 5 or 10 minute timer with voice?
Yes. Tap one of the 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 25 minute buttons, or type in any minutes and seconds you like.
Can I use it for cooking or the Pomodoro technique?
Yes. Type a message like “Drain the pasta” or “Pomodoro done, take a five-minute break” and you'll know what to do without looking at the screen.
Is it free?
Yes, the talking timer on this page is free and doesn't require sign-up. The Alarma Voz app is also free to get started.
