simple countdown timer?

Does anyone know of a simple countdown timer?

A search for countdown or timer results in a ton of spell and cooldown timers and such, but I'm just looking for a basic timer addon that allows me to punch in some minutes, have it countdown, and give me some audible tone or screen flash when it runs out. A "pizza timer" or "oven timer" as it were.

This feature is part of the default UI. Click on your minimap clock to access it. You can set a timer, and it will play a sound and show a message in the raid warning frame when it's up.

Yeah I've been using the alarm clock somewhat, but I'm looking for something a bit more robust then just an alarm. I want a stopwatch type countdown timer - kind of a cross between the stopwatch and the alarm in game - so I can see where the timer is at at any moment.

I'm not in game atm, but I thought it was a stop-watch and not just an alarm. No?

There is also a stopwatch, but I don't remember offhand how you're supposed to access it, and won't have any access to the game until Thursday night.

Just type "/run Stopwatch_Toggle()" to access it until someone can point out the normal method.

The OP wants something similar to the stopwatch, but it needs to countdown (from a specified duration) instead of counting up (its default behavior). However, it looks like its actually possible to do this with the built-in stopwatch as Seerah has pointed out.

Here is an addon that modifies it's behavior, too.
