Online Timer

They say you are more productive if you can set up a time-bound goal. How would you like it if you not only manage your time better, but also manage to measure your efficiency precisely? With tablets and smartphones around, having a counting down timer can be taken for granted. But, what happens if you do not have one around, or your particular version of the smartphone or tablet does not have a countdown timer? Here is a simple solution for you, if you have an internet connection :

1) Figure out the time you need to count down from. If it is 77 minutes, for instance, then it can be either written as 1 hour, 17 minutes or 77 minutes, as you prefer.

2) Now, open up your browser and head to http://alrt.io/time-to-countdown-from. For instance, if your time was 77 minutes. you can type in http://alrt.io/1hour17minutes or http://alrt.io/77minutes.

Caution: it might have browser problems.

3) It will now bring up a screen and start the countdown, and when the time is finished, the timer will start flashing on the screen. However, the application does not have a sound alert, and it does not work in all browsers. But, as long as you are on Google Chrome or Safari browser, it works fine. Some mobile browsers also support the app.
