A better alternative to the Google timer
Google's search-bar timer is convenient — but it resets on refresh, can't be shared as a link, and doesn't survive browser restarts. Tickline gives you 50+ preset URLs (like /5-minute-timer and /pomodoro), a loop-until-dismissed alarm, background-tab accuracy anchored to a real end-timestamp, and full-screen and PWA modes. Free, no sign-up.

| Loud loop-until-dismissed alarm | 4 sounds, looping | Single-tone chime |
| Full-screen mode | Built in | Not available |
| Preset SEO pages | 50+ presets | Search prompt only |
| Offline / PWA | Installable and offline-ready | Requires connection |
Frequently asked questions
Why use Tickline instead of Google's built-in timer?
Google's timer only runs while its tab or the OS clock is open, resets on refresh, and can't be shared as a URL. Tickline persists across refreshes, anchors to a real end-timestamp, and gives every preset a shareable URL.
Does it work when the tab is in the background?
Yes. Tickline uses an end-timestamp so a background tab stays accurate to the millisecond. Google's timer can pause or stall on some browsers.
Do I need to log in?
No. Tickline is 100% free with no sign-up. It works offline once installed as a PWA.
