In short
A 60 minute timer counts down from 60:00 to zero and sounds an alarm — 3600 seconds in total. This page opens with 60:00 already loaded, so pressing start is the only step, and the length can be changed to anything else without leaving the page. A 60 minute countdown is most often used for exams, protected deep work hours, and long bakes or braises.

How to use the 60 minute timer
- Start the 60 minute countdown with the button or the space bar.
- Reset, or the R key, puts it back to the full 60 minutes at any point.
- Bookmark this page and the same length is waiting next time — no setting up twice.
- After your first visit the page works offline, so a dropped connection will not stop a running timer.
What people time for 60 minutes
An hour is the largest block most people can hold in one piece, and the easiest to lose track of entirely.
- One hour of deep work, protected from meetings
- Exam practice under real conditions
- Long bakes, braises and stocks
- Billing and time-tracked client work
- Screen time, gaming sessions and practice hours
For anything longer than an hour, keep this tab open in a second window rather than behind your work — the tab title shows the remaining time, so a glance at the tab bar tells you where you are without switching context.
Change the length without leaving the page
Need something other than 60 minutes? Edit the fields and the timer takes it immediately. The pages below exist so the lengths people set most often are one bookmark rather than three taps away.
Questions about the 60 minute timer
Can I set a timer longer than an hour?
Yes. Put any number of minutes into the minutes box — 90, 120, 180 — and press Start. The display switches to hours, minutes and seconds automatically.
Can I keep working in another window while it runs?
Yes, and the tab title shows the remaining time, so a glance at the tab bar tells you where you are without switching back. The alarm plays whether or not the tab is in front.
Is there a limit on how many timers I can run?
No. Open the page in as many tabs as you like — each one counts independently and shows its own remaining time in its tab title.
Does it vibrate on a phone?
On phones that support it, yes: a short pattern plays alongside the alarm tones. It works in most mobile browsers but not all, so do not rely on vibration alone for something critical.
