How the Random Time Generator works

Times are converted to total minutes since midnight, a fair random minute is drawn between your two bounds using the same unbiased integer sampling used throughout Xrandom, and the result is converted back to both 24-hour and 12-hour clock formats for easy reading.

If your end time is earlier in the clock than your start time (say, 22:00 to 02:00), enter them as whole-day minute values by treating the range within a single day; for overnight ranges spanning midnight, run two separate draws for the pre- and post-midnight segments.

How to use it

1
Set your time windowEnter a start and end time in 24-hour HH:MM format, for example 09:00 to 17:00 for a workday.
2
GenerateXrandom picks a random minute within that window and displays both a 24-hour and 12-hour reading.
3
Use itHandy for randomizing a check-in time, an alarm test, or a randomized appointment slot.

Frequently asked questions

What format should I use for times?

24-hour HH:MM, for example 14:30 for 2:30 PM.

Can I generate a time that spans midnight?

Not directly in one range; split an overnight window into two draws (e.g. 22:00–23:59 and 00:00–02:00) and combine the results.

Does it include seconds?

No, this tool generates times to the nearest minute, which suits most scheduling and testing needs.
