Timer

24h Timer / Screen Awake Tool

Run a clean long-duration timer with fullscreen mode and optional Wake Lock support to reduce screen sleep interruptions during study, meetings, testing sessions and practical troubleshooting.

Wake lock not requested.

Timer

00:00:00

Displays hours, minutes, and seconds for long sessions.

Using the timer result

The timer gives you a clear elapsed-time display with pause, reset, fullscreen and Wake Lock support where the browser allows it.

Good

The result behaves as expected, remains stable, and matches what you are trying to test.

Average

The tool works, but the result suggests a setting, environment or browser limitation may need attention.

Poor

The result is missing, unstable or clearly different from the expected behaviour. Use the fixes below as your next step.

What this test checks

  • Elapsed time in hours, minutes and seconds for long-running sessions.
  • Pause and reset controls for meetings, study blocks, tests and troubleshooting windows.
  • Fullscreen display for visibility across a room or during a focused task.
  • Wake Lock availability, which may help prevent the screen sleeping on supported devices.

How to understand your results

  • A good timer session keeps counting visibly while the browser tab remains active.
  • Wake Lock is best effort. Battery saver, managed devices and operating-system policy can still dim or sleep the screen.
  • For critical timing, use a dedicated timer or clock as a backup, especially during exams, production work or live events.
  • If the browser throttles background tabs, keep the timer visible and avoid heavy background work.

Common problems and fixes

Screen still sleeps

Disable battery saver, keep the device plugged in and check display sleep settings.

Timer pauses in background

Keep the tab foregrounded for best accuracy and avoid putting the device to sleep.

Fullscreen unavailable

Some browsers block fullscreen until after a direct button press or inside restricted environments.

Wake Lock unsupported

Use browser and OS power settings as a fallback when the Wake Lock API is not available.

FAQ

Can this run beyond 24 hours?

Yes. The display is designed for long sessions and continues counting beyond one day.

Is it suitable for official timing?

Use it as a convenient browser timer, not as certified timing equipment.

Does Wake Lock drain battery?

Keeping the screen awake uses more power. Plug in for long sessions where possible.
