A 2 minute timer, ready instantly

Two minutes is a familiar unit — it's the dentist-recommended length for brushing your teeth, a common round length for quick drills, and the threshold behind the popular productivity "2 minute rule." This page opens already set to 2 minutes, so there's nothing to configure before you press Start.

What a 2 minute timer is good for

The "2 minute rule" from productivity systems like GTD — if something takes two minutes or less, do it immediately instead of tracking it as a task.
Teeth brushing, timed to the length dentists actually recommend.
A single round of a quick drill or exercise circuit.
A short, enforced pause — a breathing reset or a screen break between tasks.

Looking for something shorter or longer? Try a 1 minute timer or a 3 minute timer.
