What can I do in ten minutes?

A short guided meditation, a mobility or stretching routine, a brisk walk, a focused declutter of one surface, or a ten-minute high-intensity workout. Long enough to be worthwhile, short enough to commit to.

Will the alarm work in the background?

The timing stays accurate, but a backgrounded tab may delay the sound by up to a minute, and a closed tab will not alert you at all — there is no server. Keep the tab open; on iPhone, keep the mute switch off.

10-Minute Timer

Ten minutes is the length of a proper break — enough for a short meditation, a stretch routine, a walk to clear your head, or a focused tidy-up, without tipping into the kind of pause that swallows a whole afternoon. It is also a common conditioning block: ten minutes of hard intervals is a real workout. Set the countdown, commit to the ten minutes fully, and let the alarm decide when you are done.
