10 Minute Timer
The 10 minute timer is a free, full screen countdown that fills the screen with a bold, easy to read display and sounds an alarm at zero. It works in any browser with no sign up, so it is ready the moment you open it, on a phone at your desk or a large display at the front of a room.
How to use and set the timer
- Open the page. The timer is already set to 10 minutes, so there is nothing to set up before you begin.
- To use a different length, type your own hours, minutes, and seconds into the display, or choose one of the presets.
- Select Start, or press the spacebar, to begin the countdown. Pause and Reset control the run at any time.
- Switch to full screen for a large, high contrast display, and turn sound on so an alarm plays when the timer reaches zero.
Common use cases
- A guided meditation
- A lightning talk or short presentation
- A coffee break
- A quick core or interval workout
