This online timer is already set: open the page and press Start timer, and the 78-minute countdown begins at 01:18:00. Nothing to install, and no sign-up. It is the same countdown people look for as a 78 min timer, 1 hour 18 minute timer or 78:00 timer.

Will the alarm work if I leave this tab?
Keep the tab open. Switching to another tab is usually fine, but browsers can slow down pages in the background and may block sound that was never enabled. For the best chance of hearing the alarm, keep this page open and visible and press Test sound first. Closing the tab stops the alarm.
