Frequently asked questions
- What is a one-minute timer good for?
- Short, repeatable efforts — planks and wall sits, timed rest between lifting sets, a one-minute breathing or mindfulness pause, or a hard stop at the end of a meeting agenda item.
- Will it alert me if I switch tabs?
- The count stays accurate because it is based on the real end time, but a backgrounded tab can delay the sound by up to a minute — a lot for a one-minute timer — so keep the tab in front. On iPhone, turn the side mute switch off to hear it.
This timer keeps the exact time even if you switch tabs. If this tab or your browser closes, nothing can alert you at the exact finish time — there's no server behind this, by design. Come back any time and we'll tell you honestly how long ago it ended.
