When a 1 minute timer is useful
Sixty seconds suits anything measured in a single effort: holding a plank, a round of a quick-fire quiz or word game, a one minute breathing pause between tasks, or practicing a short pitch until it fits the time. Teachers use it for "one minute to finish your sentence" and for timed mental arithmetic.
At this length a second or two matters. The count begins the moment you press Start, not when the page loads, so get everyone ready first. The display shows whole seconds and rounds up, which means it reads 01:00 for the first second and reaches 00:00 exactly as the beep sounds. For back-to-back rounds, press "Start again" as soon as it finishes; the duration stays at one minute.
How this timer works
- Press Start. The time left also shows in the browser tab, so you can switch tabs.
- Three short beeps play at zero. Sound is only possible after you click, which is why it is armed by the Start button. Check your volume.
- Pause holds the time; Reset returns to the full duration. Change the minutes or seconds boxes for any other length.
