1 minute timer

Sixty seconds is too short to glance at a clock for and too long to count in your head. Press Start and the last ten seconds pip, so you know the end is coming without watching.

FreeFullscreen, no ads

The short answer

A one-minute timer suits tasks where counting in your head drifts: holding a plank, a round of a party game, a one-minute speech or a quick writing sprint. Press Start or the space bar. The last ten seconds pip, the alarm sounds at zero, and pressing Space again runs another minute straight away.

How to use it

Three steps to a timer on the wall

  1. Step 1: Choose a time

    Pick a preset or set your own. The timer remembers what you used last on this device.

  2. Step 2: Press start

    Start the timer, then press F or the fullscreen button to fill the screen.

  3. Step 3: Run the room

    Space pauses, the up arrow adds a minute, R resets. Fullscreen shows the timer alone, with no ads and no navigation.

Running it well

Four things worth knowing

  • Listen for the pips

    The last ten seconds each give a short pip, so you can keep your eyes on what you are doing and still know the minute is nearly up.

  • Space runs it again

    When the minute ends, press Space and the same minute starts over. For a game with many rounds, that is one key per round.

  • For work and rest, use intervals

    If you want a minute of effort then a rest, over and over, the interval timer does the switching for you, with a different screen colour for each phase.

  • Put it on the TV for a room

    Press F for fullscreen and the digits fill the screen, readable from across a room for a party game or a class.

In the room

Built to be read from the back row

A timer that only works on the person running it is not doing the job. The digits scale to the screen, the colour changes before the end, and fullscreen shows nothing else at all.

Ads pay for this page, and they stay on this page. The moment the timer goes fullscreen there is nothing on screen but the time — no banners, no navigation, no surprises in front of a room.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Anything we've missed?

Tell us

How many words can I say in one minute?

About 130 to 160 words at a comfortable speaking pace. Write to that count before you rehearse against the timer.

Can I time 30 seconds instead?

Yes. Tap the 30 sec preset, or type 0 minutes and 30 seconds in the boxes under the timer.

How do I run several minutes in a row?

When the timer reaches zero, press Space and another minute starts. For fixed work and rest rounds, the interval timer is built for it.

Does the alarm keep ringing?

Only if you choose "Loud bell, until stopped". The default chime rings once, which suits short rounds.
