1 Minute Timer
Sixty seconds on the clock. Press Start, do the thing, hear the sound.
No signup. Works in any browser. A clear sound when time is up.
Things that fit in one minute
- A one minute talk or elevator pitch, practised out loud
- A maths drill: how many sums can you do in 60 seconds
- Minute-to-win-it party games
- Rest between sets when you are training for endurance
- A breathing break: slow breaths in and out until it sounds
Practise speaking to time
Saying something useful in a minute is harder than it sounds. Set the timer, talk about one topic, and stop when it sounds. Do it a few times and you find out where the padding is.
Drills in the classroom
A fixed minute makes progress easy to see: same drill, same 60 seconds, a higher score next week. If the whole room needs to see it, the classroom timer shows the time as a large shrinking disc for the board.
How the timer works
- Press Start and it counts down. Change the hours, minutes or seconds first if you need a different length.
- It works from your device clock, so it stays right in a background tab, and the time left shows in the tab title.
- Pick an end sound (chime, bell, beep, gentle or silent). The full screen button puts the timer alone on the screen.
- Keeps working offline once the page has loaded. No account, nothing to install.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 1 minute timer the same as 60 seconds?
Yes. It counts down from 00:01:00 to zero, then plays the end sound.
Can I run it again straight away?
Yes. Press Reset and then Start. It keeps the one minute length.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The buttons are sized for tapping, and it runs in any modern mobile browser.
Can I put it on a projector?
Yes. Press the full screen button on the timer, or use the classroom timer for an even bigger display.
