This one minute timer is already set to sixty seconds: press start and it counts down, ending with a sound and a visible alert. One minute is the right length for washing your hands, holding a plank, steeping green tea or capping a round of introductions. The remaining time also appears in the browser tab.

What actually fits into one minute?

More than it feels like. The World Health Organization's handwashing guidance puts the complete procedure with soap at 40 to 60 seconds, which is why a minute has become the standard reference. A plank, a set of squats, a short breathing exercise, green tea that turns bitter after ninety seconds, or the one minute each person gets in a stand-up meeting all sit in the same window.

Why is a minute the hardest length to guess?

Because it is long enough to get bored and short enough to lose track. People counting silently are almost always off, and the busier they are, the shorter the time feels. That is the whole argument for a timer at this length: not precision for its own sake, but a fixed end that does not depend on how the minute feels.

What if my phone is on silent?

The end of the minute is signalled twice: a short tone and a clearly visible alert panel that replaces the display, plus the browser tab title switching to the finished message. A tone alone is useless on a muted device, and a silent flash is useless when you are looking away — together they cover both cases.

How to set the timer

  1. Press start — the minute is already set, you do not have to enter anything.
  2. Switch to whatever you are doing; the remaining time stays visible in the tab title.
  3. At zero you get a tone and a visible alert; press reset to run the minute again.

Frequently asked questions

How do I start a 1 minute timer without setting anything?

This page is the setting. The countdown opens at 60 seconds, so a single tap on start is enough. If you need a different length, the hour, minute and second fields are right there and any change takes effect the next time you start.

Can I use it as a 60 second timer for exercises?

Yes, that is the most common use. For interval work, start the minute, do the set, then press reset and start again. The stopwatch mode is the better fit if you want to record how long each round actually took instead of capping it.

Does the timer keep running when I switch tabs?

Yes. The remaining time is calculated from the timestamp at which you pressed start, not by counting ticks. Browsers slow background timers down to about one call per minute, and a sleeping device stops them completely — a counting timer would fall behind by exactly that amount. This one simply subtracts again when the tab comes back and shows the correct value.

Does the timer send anything to a server?

No. No server is involved at all: the countdown is a subtraction against your device clock, done entirely in JavaScript in your browser. There is no account, no cookie for the timer, and nothing is uploaded or sent anywhere. You can load the page, switch to airplane mode and the timer still runs — which is the simplest way to verify the claim yourself.
