What a 1 Minute timer is good for
- Plank holds and wall sits, where 60 seconds feels a lot longer than it is.
- Speaking practice: answer an interview question or pitch an idea in exactly one minute.
- A breathing break: one minute of slow breaths before a call or an exam.
Press Start and the countdown runs for exactly 1 minute. It shows in the tab title too, so you can work in another tab and still see the time left. When it reaches zero, a gentle alarm plays and the dial flashes until you stop it.

Want to time something without an end point? The stopwatch counts up with lap times. For a date rather than a duration, the countdown timer counts the days and hours to an event.
Frequently asked questions
How many seconds are in a 1 Minute timer?
60 seconds. The 1 Minute timer counts them down from 01:00 and plays an alarm at zero.
Will the 1 Minute timer ring if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer works from the moment it should end, not from ticks, and the alarm is scheduled on the browser's audio clock, which keeps running in background tabs. Keep the sound on and the tab open.
Can I change the 1 Minute timer to a different length?
Yes. The hours, minutes and seconds fields and the presets work as usual. This page only starts at 1 minute; every other length is one tap away, or open one of the timers linked below.
