Free Online Tabata Timer

Tabata is 20 seconds of all-out work, 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times: 4 minutes in total. This timer counts every round for you, beeps at each change and shows Work or Rest in big letters, so you can keep your eyes off the screen.

This is a Tabata timer set to 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest, for 8 rounds. It gives you 10 seconds to get ready first. Press Start and it runs the whole workout for you.

It beeps three times before every change, then plays a different sound for work and for rest, so you can follow along without looking. The screen shows Work or Rest in big letters, which round you are on, and the time left.

Tap Edit to change the work time, rest time or number of rounds. Your settings go into the link, so you can bookmark your own workout or send it to a training partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the whole workout?

With these settings it takes 4:00 from start to finish, including the get-ready countdown. Change the rounds or times with Edit and the total changes with them.

Can I change the work and rest times?

Yes. Tap Edit and set any work time, rest time, number of rounds and get-ready time. The link updates too, so you can save your workout as a bookmark.

Will I hear it if I'm not looking at the screen?

Yes. It beeps for the last three seconds of every round and plays a different sound for work and rest. Turn on Voice countdown in Settings to hear "Work" and "Rest" spoken out loud.

Will my phone screen stay on?

On most phones, yes: the screen stays on while the timer is running. You can switch this off in Settings. Keep the page open for the whole workout.
