A 1 minute timer, ready instantly

Sixty seconds is enough time to reset a habit, run a quick drill, or hold yourself to a hard limit on something that tends to run long. This page opens already set to 1 minute — press Start and the countdown begins immediately, accurate to the second even if you switch tabs.

What a 1 minute timer is good for

  • The "one-minute rule" — if a task takes less than a minute, do it now instead of adding it to a list.
  • Timing a single round of an interval workout, a plank hold, or a breathing exercise.
  • Public speaking practice — a one-minute pitch or answer forces you to get to the point.
  • A hard cutoff for a quick break between tasks, so "just a minute" actually stays a minute.

Need a bit more room? Try a 2 minute timer or a 5 minute timer for the same idea with a longer runway.
