About this tool
This page is a 1-minute timer with nothing to configure: the duration is already set, so starting takes one click. Sixty seconds is the standard plank challenge, roughly how long a pour-over coffee needs to bloom, and the reset break focus coaches recommend between tasks: stand up, breathe out slowly, look at something far away. It is also about the length of a single round of a party game or one verse-and-chorus of a practice run.
The countdown runs in this browser tab and also shows in the tab title, so you can get on with other things and glance back. When it reaches zero you will hear an alarm tone and see the “Time's up!” message. Keep the tab open — a browser timer cannot ring from a closed tab — and use Pause or Reset at any point.
How to use it
- Press Start — the timer is already set to 1 minutes.
- Breathe, hold the plank, stretch — the tab title shows the seconds left.
- The alarm sounds at zero. Press Reset to run it again.
Frequently asked questions
How do I set a 1 minute timer?
You don't need to set anything — this page is pre-set to 1 minutes. Just press Start.
Will the alarm work if I switch to another tab?
Yes, the countdown continues and shows in the tab title; the sound plays as long as this tab stays open somewhere in your browser.
Can I use this as a 1 minute timer with alarm for a plank, a breathing exercise or a quick stretch?
Yes — it is a plain countdown with an audible alarm at zero, which works well for a plank, a breathing exercise or a quick stretch, and for anything else that takes 1 minutes.
