What a 2 Minute timer is good for
- Brushing teeth, especially with kids who would stop after 30 seconds.
- The two-minute rule: clear the small tasks on your list before the timer runs out.
- Steeping green or white tea, which turns bitter when it sits too long.
Press Start and the countdown runs for exactly 2 minutes. 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.

Counting down to a day, not a few minutes? Use the countdown timer. To measure how long something took, the stopwatch is the better fit, and the time duration calculator works out the time between two clock times.
Frequently asked questions
How many seconds are in a 2 Minute timer?
120 seconds. The 2 Minute timer counts them down from 02:00 and plays an alarm at zero.
Will the 2 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 2 Minute timer to a different length?
Yes. The hours, minutes and seconds fields and the presets work as usual. This page only starts at 2 minutes; every other length is one tap away, or open one of the timers linked below.
