A simple timer built for Chrome
You can set timers from the omnibox. It is good for Keyboard lovers. Type 'tm' and space, then you can set the timer from the omnibox. When time is over, Chrome will show a desktop notification and tell you a message you entered. The default message is 'Timer done!'.

- super useful! would love a stopwatch feature as well, just to track how much time is passing without a limit.
- Pam Buchanan
- It's not working. I click on the icon and it opens the options page. It's useless so I'm uninstalling.
- Mahmoud Elkheshen
- Nice and worked well.
- Kongo Landwalker
- Instantly favourite. It is comfortable to be able to start timer without opening any new page
- David
- Doesn't do anything at all. Can't even start. Can only get the options page. No way to set a timer.
- Vasilis V.
- It's nice that you can set as many timer events as you want. It would be also nice to be able to select from different alarm sounds and also how long they should last, as well at what volume. The existing alarm sound is very short and someone in another room might miss it. In terms of simplicity it is very good.
- Suhas A
- Total B.S, no longer works
- Gianmarco David
- This is awesome for anyone who likes plain text/command line. I just wish there were more sounds available

- Jakub Unold
- Love the extension, although would love it even more if you could add little box next to the icon showing how much time's left :) It'd help a lot
- USEL mağazasi
- Doesn't work at all - impossible to add new time (
- Tiger leclair
- Very good. There isnt any documentation or links if you click on the extention icon though. the only information is in this page, the description, so if you forget where you got it, you might be very confused.

- It was difficult to use because it lacked a description of how to use it. Entering "tm + space" has found a way to enter the timer

- Sleuth Clinic
- Couldn't get it to work, so I couldn't use it...From the more recent reviews, it looks like this extension stopped working properly months ago and needs to be removed from the Chrome Web Store...
- Roger Brownlie
- No idea how to use it. No instructions.
- pooj chandra
- simple, easy to use, few points of improvement: 1) Add a remove delete button 2) User should be able to sort the list of timers on any of the columns, especially the notification time column 3) Somehow sync it with your phone if user is not near computer If 1 or more feature is implemented, then I would love to give it 5 stars.

- Horrible and very bad and confusing. Do Not buy this app!!
- zeppy13131
- Perfect! I don't know what people are complaining about—that the alarm is "just plain text", etc. When time's up, a (very noticeable) message pops up in Windows's Notification area, and text-to-speech says the text you typed. If you need something fancier, I'm sure you can find it—but this extension's fine for those of us who want something quick and easy.
