Questions

Does it need an account or send anything?

No. It runs in this page with your device's clock. Nothing is stored on a server.

How accurate is it?

It reads the system clock, so the total is as accurate as your device's clock; the display updates ten times a second. Human reaction time on the button (about 0.2 s) is the larger error.

Does it keep running if I close the tab?

No. Switching tabs is fine, but closing or reloading the page stops it.

Can I count down instead?

Use the Online timer for a countdown with an alarm.
