10 minute timer

A ten minute countdown that fills the screen and rings when it hits zero.

Shortcuts: space start or pause · R reset · F fullscreen. The alarm rings even if you switch tabs.

In short

A 10 minute timer counts down from 10:00 to zero and sounds an alarm — 600 seconds in total. This page opens with 10:00 already loaded, so pressing start is the only step, and the length can be changed to anything else without leaving the page. A 10 minute countdown is most often used for stand-up meetings, guided meditation, and steaming or boiling vegetables.

How to use the 10 minute timer

  1. Press Start for a straight 10 minute countdown, or edit the boxes first for any other length.
  2. Press F for fullscreen and Esc to come back — handy on a projector or a TV.
  3. Press Sound off if you need the countdown visible but silent.
  4. The last three seconds beep, then the alarm rings three rising tones and the screen turns red.

What people time for 10 minutes

Ten minutes is the shortest block that feels like real time. It is the standard unit for warm-ups, stand-ups and anything you want to keep tight.

  • Daily stand-ups and check-ins that tend to sprawl
  • Ten minute tidying sessions, room by room
  • Guided meditation for beginners
  • Steaming vegetables, boiling potatoes, resting a roast
  • Reading blocks for children building a habit

Teachers and facilitators use ten minutes constantly, and the number works far better when the room can see it. Press Fullscreen and the digits scale to fill a monitor or projector, so nobody has to ask how long is left. The classroom timer is set up for exactly that.

Change the length without leaving the page

Nothing about this page is fixed to 10 minutes. Change the boxes and press Start, or jump to a page that already holds the length you want — useful if you are sharing the link with a class or a team.

Questions about the 10 minute timer

Can I show this on a projector or a TV?

Yes. Press Fullscreen, or the F key, and the countdown fills the display with digits that stay legible from the back of a room. The progress bar along the top gives the same information at a glance.

Does it need an internet connection?

Only to load the page the first time. After that the site is cached on your device, so it opens and runs offline, and losing the connection mid-countdown changes nothing.

Do I need to sign up?

No. There are no accounts on this site at all, which also means there is nothing to store about you and nothing to delete later.

What does the alarm sound like?

Three rising tones lasting about two seconds, generated by the browser rather than played from an audio file, so there is nothing to download and no delay before it sounds.
