30 Minute Timer vs. 30 Minute Alarm

A timer counts down for a specific amount of time. This page starts with thirty minutes and alerts you when the countdown reaches zero.

An alarm is set for a specific time of day. If you want an alert at a particular clock time instead, use our Online Alarm Clock.
