A full hour
An hour is the standard length for a lesson, a meeting, a practice exam or a long cook. This page opens with the timer set to 60:00, with the ring full, so you can start the moment you're ready.
Common uses include timing a practice exam, a deep work session, a 60 minute parking limit, a slow-cooked dish, a gym session, a board game turn limit or a tutoring lesson. Because the timer runs from your device clock, it stays accurate for the full hour even in a background tab.
Tips for long sessions
Plan a short stretch or water break halfway through, and keep your device plugged in if it's a phone. Press F for full screen to show the time to a room. Drag the ring past twelve o'clock to set up to two hours. Prefer to break the hour into smaller pieces? The 50 minute timer leaves ten minutes for a break, and the 90 minute timer suits longer focus blocks.
Frequently asked questions
Can I set more than one hour?
Yes. Drag the ring round a second lap, or type up to 120 minutes into the Custom box.
Is it accurate over a whole hour?
Yes. It checks your device clock several times a second rather than counting ticks, so it doesn't drift.
Will it keep running if I switch tabs or lock my screen?
Yes. The timer works from your device clock, so it stays accurate in a background tab, and the tab title shows the time left. If your phone locks, the countdown carries on, but some phones delay sound until you unlock, so keep the screen on for anything important.
