1 Minute Timer
One click to startAlarm at zeroKeeps time in the background
Time's up
Space to start or pause, R to reset, F for full screen.
Press Start and the clock runs down from 1:00. When it hits zero it beeps, flashes and puts "Time's up" in the tab title, so you notice even if you are looking at something else.
What people use a 1 minute timer for
- A plank, a wall sit or one round of a circuit.
- A one-minute speech, pitch or introduction, practised against the clock.
- Party and classroom games where each turn gets a minute.
- A breathing break: sixty seconds of slow breaths before a call or an exam.
How this timer works
- It remembers the moment it will end, so it stays right when you switch tabs or your phone locks.
- At zero it plays a few short beeps, vibrates on phones that can, and shows "Time's up" in the tab title.
- While it runs it asks the screen to stay on. Full screen makes the numbers big enough to read across a room.

Questions people ask
How do I restart the timer?
Press Reset, then Start. The space bar starts and pauses it, and R resets it, so you can run it again without touching the mouse.
How long is a one-minute plank for a beginner?
Many beginners start with 20 or 30 seconds and build up to a minute over a few weeks. Stop when your hips start to sag rather than chasing the full minute.
Does the timer work without an internet connection?
Once the page has loaded, yes. The timer runs in your browser and does not need the network to count down or to beep.
Counting down to a date rather than a few minutes? The countdown maker works for any day, and with Pro the Countdown app puts it on your iPhone Lock Screen.
