About the 5 Minute Timer
Starting a task you dislike is easier when you promise yourself just five minutes. Use it for a short break, a quick tidy-up or a focus sprint.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use the 5 minute timer?
Press Start and the countdown begins. There is nothing to install and no account to create.
Will the alarm sound if I switch to another tab?
Yes. The timer works from the exact end time, so it stays accurate while you use other tabs. You need to press Start once so the browser allows sound, and closing the tab stops the timer.
I can't hear the alarm.
Check your device volume and make sure the browser tab is not muted. Sound is only allowed after you press Start. You can also press the Sound test button to hear it in advance.
