What a 3 minute timer is good for

People use this timer for steeping black tea, a boxing round and instant noodles. Three minutes is a standard round in amateur boxing and the classic steep for a cup of black tea.

How it works

Under the digits you see the clock time when the timer ends. Need a little longer? Tap +1 min while it runs. Switch between numbers, a progress ring, a visual disc and a sand timer.

Space starts and pauses, R resets and F opens fullscreen. The screen stays on, and the timer follows the real clock, so it stays accurate when the tab is in the background.
