Minute timers, 1 to 60

Pick the number of minutes you need. Each page loads that exact length, so there is nothing to set before you press start.

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

In short

Minute timers are countdowns set in whole minutes. This site has a separate page for 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45 and 60 minutes, each opening pre-set so it can be bookmarked or shared as a single link. Any other length can be typed in directly.

Not the length you wanted?

The timer above accepts any number of minutes and seconds, including well over an hour. The separate pages exist so a common length is one bookmark away rather than three taps of a number field — not because those are the only durations that work.

Questions about minute timers

Why is there a page for each duration?

So the timer opens ready. A page that already holds twenty minutes saves you setting it every time, and it can be pinned, bookmarked or shared with a class as a single link.

Will it still work if I lock my phone?

Yes. Locking the screen does not pause anything — the remaining time is worked out from the clock, not from how long the page has been visible. While the timer runs the site also asks your phone to keep the screen awake, so it will not dim on you mid-countdown.

Can I use it at work, in a gym or in a classroom?

Yes, without restriction. Project it, put it on a shared screen, or link to it — there is no licence to buy and no commercial-use limit.
