What a 5 minute timer is good for

People use this timer for a short meditation, a classroom brain break and a five-minute tidy-up. Five minutes is a good first session for meditation and a calm length for a break between lessons.

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.
