5 Minute Timer
Five minutes is the default short break: long enough to actually step away from the screen, short enough that you'll come back.
05:005 Minute Timer
Keep this tab open — the countdown stays accurate in the background, and the alarm sounds when it reaches zero.
What a 5 minute timer is good for
Minute-length countdowns cover most of everyday timing: cooking steps, breaks, workouts, study blocks, and anything where you want to commit to a fixed stretch of time and stop thinking about the clock. Start it, leave the tab open, and the alarm will tell you when the time is up.
- The short break between Pomodoro work blocks
- A five-minute stretch or mobility routine
- Resting pasta, dough, or meat after cooking
- Timeboxing a task you've been avoiding starting
