Do you know Google Search has an inbuilt Alarm & Stopwatch timer? Quick Tip

Updated on September 1, 2017

Google has plenty of cool search commands; such as Search for numbers in range, search for specific file types, built-in virtual calculator, allows you to convert multiple currents & units and lets you create graphs for complex mathematical functions. Do you know that it has a built-in Stopwatch as well?  Thanks to the Reddit user Blesmish, who pointed out this cool trick.

You can quickly ask Google to start a timer by typing “set timer X minutes“. For instance, set timer 40 minutes will start a timer count down and then sounds off when it expires. You can also try out “set alarm for X time“.
